prize fight
Professional boxing contest
A prize fight is a boxing match, especially a professional bout fought for money.
The term evokes the sport's earlier, rougher era—bare-knuckle contests and illegal matches in back rooms—though it now applies to any sanctioned professional fight: The prize fight drew thousands to the arena.
