And how is betting of people hitting each other being considered as legal and ethical in today´s world?

It's much better than countries going to war and in conflict, boxing is considered art in sports and Olympics you need to be physically fit and well trained to compete, they are trained to get hurt and hurt they are not average people they undergo training and they are certified to go on competition, and boxing is well regulated so they are not fighting to the death.

Boxers are not only thought how to beat the opponent, but they are also thought how to protect themselves at all times, and though it's normal that there are some boxers who suffers from serious injury, it's just rare compared to the total fights where boxers are still healthy after the fight.

So yes, there's no way it will be stop or ban as boxing is not the only sport that is considered a physical sport.

With the modern days technologies, boxers are now more safe than before. The trainings and all those primary precautions that they needed to learn is being provided by coaches who understand this sport.

Before they go and begin their careers they've been trained to protect themselves, though it's unavoidable if accident happened but again just like you mentioned those fighters are more aware on how to lessen chances of being hit from their critical areas. They are there to protect and to keep their fighting chance to win the match.

That's why before they step inside the ring, they already have the license in boxing. And to get that, certainly, they already gone thru seminars and the likes to know what are the do's and don'ts to be observed once inside the ring. Because one mistake, they can easily lose their license, which they have been working for years. This is why boxers don't want to make trouble outside the ring, because they need to take care of their boxing career. Most likely, they also are well-educated in terms of how to secure their body from any potential harm.
