There is luck involved in boxing. There is much less luck involved in boxing than there is in poker, because poker is a game that is about managing risk and uncertainty.
Chess and Go may be "pure skill" games, but there are very few popular games, sports, and practices that are similarly pure, and so the notion of how valuable or important "skill" versus "luck" is becomes murky.
