This is why you should have regulatory bodies to sanction fights. 

The proposed Tim Sylvia-Ray Mercer boxing match that the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board refused to sanction has apparently found a new home.

Speaking with Sherdog.com, promoter Monte Cox announced the six-round heavyweight fight would be rescheduled for June 13 in Alabama as the main event of Adrenaline III. The hybrid boxing-mixed martial arts event will be held at the 17,000-seat BJCC arena in Birmingham.

Cox confirmed that Alabama does not have a regulatory body to oversee the fight.    

I don't want to undergo a self-righteous liberal rant, but seriously Alabama come on! 

There is a reason why you want to have legal governing body review any fighters who want to engage in combat and that is because if something goes wrong someone can be seriously hurt.

The great state of Alabama which gave us...well....I don't know what they've given us besides the Crimson Tide and George Wallace...
