Money and contracts.

You can get seriously hurt in a boxing match. And professional boxers get paid way more to be on TV.

Because of that, boxers may also sign contracts where they can’t compete in any other competitions.

This applies to a lot of other sports. NHL for example, at times didn’t let players go into Olympics. And those are the best players in the world.
