Your skill level will certainly be taken into account, but that doesn't mean that you can't defend yourself.
Just make sure that you stop fighting the second the threat ends.

In Canada it is not against the law to consent to fight with someone. You can't, however, consent to bodily harm. So that means that you (trained boxer or not) would held liable if you inflict serious damage on someone even if they consented to fight with you. Of course, this is judged on a case by case basis, so if you inflict serious damage on someone because you are defending yourself that will be different.

Even a professional boxer and martial arts expert retains the right to protect himself. Just don't use excessive force when defending yourself.

No, that is not true, its a fictional things from the movies. Unless, you are the one starting the fights or you enter them with only a little provocation.

Exactly what Citicop said. It is a fine line between attackee and attacker. Once the threat has stopped, so must you.............

This is true of a professional because of their training in the boxing discipline which makes their fists deadly weapons.
