Two men wanting to fight - are they breaking the law?

Not talking football here, but say two men agreed to fight say UFC style in a park where no damage could be done,and had some set of rules like a tap out or knockout so no GBH would be done,would they actually be breaking the law?

Yes. I've seen gatherings on TV shows where the police have turned up and the fighters arrested

You selling tickets?

LOL... I see nothing wrong in it to be honest, as long as it's done with taste and style!

That what I thought, but surely if they're consenting adults,know the risks etc .
If you can hammer a nail through your cock.....

They're breaking the law if someone watching feels threatened by their actions.

It is breaking the law but it happens a lot, I know people who fight like that for a few bob

Take it to the top of a mountain wher the cops wont be bothered to walk, job done.

Happens all the ime in the Travelling community, and especially at the horse fairs. Police know it goes on and as long as its in a field away from others they are ok with it.

maybe for disturbing the peace?

sort it out in a cellar then no one can see you

Arrange it to take place at the Liberty stadium on a match day, there would not be many people there.

That would be my answer.

They might not actually get arrested for 'fighting' i.e. assaulting each other but instead for disturbing the peace of others.
