contestant for a boxing contest or boxing exhibition shall be examined within

each and every contestant to the commissioner, deputy commissioner or
inspector present at such contest. Blank forms of physicians' reports shall be
provided by the commission and all questions upon such blanks shall be
answered in full. At the discretion of the commission prior to a wrestling
exhibition, the commission may require a contestant to be examined by a
physician appointed by the commission. No contestant whose physical condition
is not approved by the examining physician shall be permitted to participate
in any contest or exhibition. The promoter conducting such contest or
exhibition shall pay the examining physician a fee in the amount designated by
the commission. No boxing contest, boxing exhibition or wrestling exhibition
shall be held unless a physician appointed by the commission is present
throughout the contest or exhibition. The promoter shall pay the fees, in the
amount designated by the commission, of the physician who is required to be
present at a boxing contest, boxing exhibition or wrestling exhibition.
    The commission may select any practicing physician as the examining or
attending physician. The physician present at the contest or exhibition shall
have the authority to stop any contest or exhibition when in the physician's
opinion it would be dangerous for a contestant to continue.
