I disagree, dodging is a massive of part of boxing no doubt but the game is boxing and the goal is knockout.

You're absolutely correct - there's absolutely nothing violent about punching somebody in the face in any way whatsoever.

Rugby has hits and tackles but they are not particularly violent or vicious

Clyde, listen to me very carefully... you're talking to someone who grew up in a fascist country obsessed with rugby. They didn't fetishise it because it promotes peace - get it?
