Answers
//"Boxers know the risks involved". Car drivers know the risks involved driving without a seatbelt on but it's still not allowed// Bad analogy. Car drivers run the risk of hurting others, boxers will only ever hurt each other.

// Every sport has a risk of accident. That is not the same as the whole aim being to injure someone. //
Exactly Pixie. The ideal result that every contestant is aiming for in a boxing match is a knockout. You're basically attempting to inflict temporary brain damage on the opponent.
Sometimes that can go wrong and the damage inflicted is permanent, or even fatal.
Whilst it may be true that footballers for example sometimes try to injure their opponents, that is called a foul. It's not actually part of the sport - it's just them being thugs, and they get sent off the pitch for it.
Boxing is unique in this respect.

//Most “fighting sports” : wrestling, karate, judo, Taekwondo,etc are about to some extent “hurting” “over powering” your opponent
Boxing is not unique in this //
Incorrect. Martial arts (except boxing) are about scoring points by executing a successful strike or throw, like fencing or Kendo.
Wrestling and Judo are about executing throws and holds to score points.
Deliberately damaging your opponent is not an inherent part of these sports as it is in boxing.

Even judo, jiu jitsu, wrestling etc ,they use submission holds (inflicting severe pain not tickling)
