NGL, heads of state challenging each other to exhibition boxing matches would be incredible. It would also radically alter who gets on the ballot for general elections, and we’d have to deal with concussed presidents and such. At the same time, the stakes would probably be state-level things (resources, borders, land, tariffs, embargos, sanctions, etc.), so everyone’s emotional state around a spectacle like that would be off the charts. People would riot after a loss.
