"When there is mutual combat upon a sudden quarrel, both parties are the aggressors." That was written into 16th century English common law, upon which the US legal system is based. In other words, you're both in the same amount of trouble.

Unless there's a clear winner in the fight. In which case, that person could be charged with aggravated battery, or even manslaughter, in the case of a fatality.

It's illegal to hold a combative contest in every state without the sanction of an authoritative body, like the AIBA.

Perfectly legal to go to a gym, put on some gloves and spar, though.

I heard that it is called "mutual combat" but call your local police department for the legal answer.
