Rules & Regulations of the State of Tennessee Title 1245 - Boxing/Racing Commission
Title 1245 of the Rules & Regulations of the State of Tennessee pertains to the Tennessee Racing Commission. However, it's important to note a significant change:
While the title "Boxing/Racing Commission" might imply a combined entity, in Tennessee, the regulation of unarmed combat sports (like boxing and MMA) falls under the Tennessee Athletic Commission, which has its rules primarily under Title 0145.
Therefore:

This title specifically governs horse racing and parimutuel wagering in the state. It would cover aspects such as:
Licensing of racetracks, trainers, jockeys, owners, and other participants in horse racing.
Regulations for race meetings, including dates, times, and types of races.
Rules regarding medication, testing, and equine welfare.
Procedures for stewarding, disciplinary actions, and appeals within the racing industry.
Financial regulations related to parimutuel wagering and distribution of funds.
Tennessee Athletic Commission (Title 0145):
As mentioned, rules for professional boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), and bare-knuckle boxing are found under Title 0145. This includes regulations for:
Licensing of combatants, promoters, officials (referees, judges), and seconds.
Safety standards, medical requirements, and pre-fight testing.
