Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission Consumer Protection Alert: Warning of the Risk of Unsanctioned Events

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission (“the Commission”) has been made aware of an unsanctioned boxing event scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 15, 2025, in Chino Valley, Arizona. Because this event is not sanctioned by the Commission or any State or Tribal Commission recognized by the Association of Boxing Commissions (“ABC”), this event is an unsanctioned event. The Department urges the public, participants, and licensees to exercise caution and avoid involvement in unregulated combat sports activities.

The Commission regulates unarmed combat sports in Arizona to protect the safety of fighters, ensure fair competition, and uphold professional standards. Sanctioned events are subject to strict oversight, including medical evaluations, ringside physicians, trained officials, and adherence to state laws and regulations. Under Arizona Revised Statutes (“A.R.S.”) § 5-236, participation in an unsanctioned event may result in a class 2 misdemeanor and license revocation, denial, or suspension.

Accordingly, the Commission has ordered the organizers of this event to cancel all planned or contemplated combat sporting events in Arizona that have not received official sanctioning from the Commission. They have been further directed to refrain from promoting, hosting, or engaging in this activity unless proper authorization has been obtained. The hosting and/or promoting of unsanctioned combat sporting events is illegal, and conducting these events without appropriate licensure is a class 1 and class 2 misdemeanor within the State of Arizona.

Consumer Protection & Fighter Safety

Unregulated events pose significant risks to all involved. It’s important to emphasize that regulated events require fighters to have up-to-date medical exams before stepping into the ring. In contrast, unregulated or unsanctioned events typically bypass these critical requirements, significantly increasing risk to fighter safety.

Fighters may be exposed to unsafe conditions, improper matchmaking, and a lack of medical supervision. These events often occur without doctors or emergency medical services on-site, and without adherence to established health and safety protocols. This absence of regulatory oversight puts both fighters and spectators at risk, leaving them vulnerable to unethical practices and substandard safety measures.

Risk to Licensees and Participants

Any individual licensed by the Commission—whether a fighter, promoter, official, or second—who participates in or supports an unsanctioned event may face disciplinary action, including suspension or revocation of their license. Promoters who operate without the required approvals are subject to legal penalties under Arizona law.

Reporting Unlicensed Activity

The Department takes reports of unsanctioned events seriously. If you are aware of unsanctioned combat sports activity and would like to provide tips or information, please contact the Department’s Division of Boxing and MMA’s messaging line at (602) 364-1721 or email [email protected]. Tips may also be submitted through [email protected]. You may choose to remain anonymous.

The Department remains committed to ensuring the integrity, safety, and professionalism of unarmed combat sports in Arizona. The safety of our Licensees is the Commission’s greatest concern, so participation in unsanctioned events—a high safety risk—will be addressed to the fullest extent of the Commission’s statutory authority. Please be forewarned that any Licensee of the Commission that participates in this event will be subject to the disciplinary consequences outlined above.

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has launched its mythology-themed Majestic Zeus slot.

Set at the foothills of Mount Olympus, Majestic Zeus welcomes players to a Grecian world where the rewards are potentially as large as the mountains themselves. The 5×3 frame is nestled between two towering columns adorned with Grecian goddesses. A thunderous, powerful musical score evokes the might of Zeus and heightens the entertainment.

Players who find three Zeus symbols will launch the Free Spins game. Before entering Free Games, players must take a turn on the Wheel of Fortune to determine the free spins total, between 10 and 40, and the symbol will be doubled for the round.

Three blue lightning bolts will trigger the Bonus feature in Majestic Zeus. Three spins are granted to players instantly, and the mission is filling the metre by collecting Scattered winning symbols. Five Scattered symbols will complete one cell in the metre. Additional spins can be earned with the +1 symbol and once the spins end the final total is paid out calculated by the final filled metre cell.

Majestic Zeus also has Stacked Wilds available where once the reels are spinning, Wild symbols have the ability to appear on the reels to increase the chance of a win. During the base game, Only Double Symbols can come into play, making all symbols appear in their double form.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Majestic Zeus is sure to make a lot of noise amongst players thanks to its epic combination of myth, mechanics, and multiplier potential. The game looks and sounds superb — we’re expecting big results from it.”
