(Not to be confused with this question.)

Are there any halachic problems with a Jewish boxer boxing a Jewish beat boxer?

This question is Purim Torah and is not intended to be taken completely seriously. See the Purim Torah policy.

The biggest problem will probably be finding a large enough box.

After that make sure to poke some air holes.

are you sure we shouldn't rather punch some air holes? – Yirmeyahu Feb 12 at 4:28

The boxer can box the beat boxer provided that the beat boxer can beat the boxer. ( עין משכתב הב"ח על ח""מ בק:ס).

Do you mean 'ק"ב ס? – b a Feb 12 at 4:18

No, though it probably should be ב"ק:ס...or perhaps it was ב"כ:ז, I don't have my seforim with me since they've all been boxed away. – Yirmeyahu Feb 12 at 4:26
To put it in English: I see your post as referring to the Bach on Choshen Mishpat Beis-Kuf:Samech. I was asking if you meant Kuf-Beis:Samech. Perhaps it shows up differently on your computer. – b a Feb 12 at 4:28
Well, if you put it into English they are the same ;) except for our purpose, for which they would be different (B"K:S vs. K"B:S). – Yirmeyahu Feb 12 at 4:32

@ba say בקס out loud. – Double AA♦ Feb 12 at 6:29

Well, assuming that it's prohibited to be a boxer, and it's prohibited to be a beat boxer, then none of their punches will land. Because ein issur chal al issur.

Unless... one of them uses a one-two combo where the second strike involves hitting him with a copy of the Even HaEzel, because then you have Isser Mosif.

It's then possible he can give his opponent a black eye in the shape of a nekuda nifla'ah.
