is boxing a sport?

I mean if a couple guys started "boxing" outside a nightclub they'd be arrested. How many sports does that happen in ?

the following are real sports you would get arrested for if u played them in the streets:
shot-put, javalin, shooting, any combat sport, pole-vaulting, fencing, racing with any vehicle type... pretty much any olympic sport,, the OP argument is so stupid it makes my vagina hurt
