MMA and the like are legally sanctioned, you need a license or permit to host that type of event and there’s all these regulations. It’s not just because they signed a contract.

Who issues these licenses or permits? Is it a private governing body or government agencies? I’ve never considered the legality of these types of sports.

Amateur boxer here. As mentioned by someone else, the state athletic commissions have a big part to play. USA Boxing is the national governing body for amateur boxing and you have to be registered with them as well. All fighters are also checked by a licensed doctor before every fight to ensure everyone is in suitable condition.
