Background
Possum (Opossum) Fighting is an amateur sport originating in Needham, Massachusetts in 2005. The sport consists of two males over 18 having an opossum strapped to their feet and engaging in hand to hand combat. The winner is determined when one falls to the ground, traditionally tailbone contact.

Guidelines
Males fighting must not exceed 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms) at the time of the fight. Each possum is trained to bear a maximum weight load of 100 pounds. All participants must be vaccinated for Rabies prior to competition. All participants must be over the age of 18. If one's opossum becomes loose during contest, the combat is halted until reattached.
