Ridiculous indeed. Have we signed on to this? Story is silent on that point.

I assume, if anything, it would be a club level sport, but I wasn't aware Davis even had a club or recreational boxing program. I suppose Faber would know.

Ah - google says we do, or at least we did in 2023-24:

Boxing
The UC Davis boxing club competes in the National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA) Western Division. The team competes primarily against schools in Northern California and Nevada. Open tryouts are held every quarter. Members of the team will be trained by coach Hector Lopez - a former USA Team qualifier.

Still stupid. Let’s counter with ping pong or better pickle ball.
