Training to be a boxer

Q: We are aware that boxing and hitting the face or head isn't allowed. In some places, training is undertaken with headgear and other protection, this happens under the supervision of trained professionals. This is only for training and not on a professional level.

Is this permissible?

Diyat in the case of homicide

Q: You had previously issued a ruling stating that 'diyat' is not applicable in the case of homicide in a non-Muslim country based on the reasoning that the decision of a qādhi is necessary for it to be implemented. I have come across the following text in 'Badaai'-us-Sanaai' under the chapter: 

فصل في الأحكام التي تختلف باختلاف الدارين, ويضمن الدية خطأ كان أو عمدا وتكون في ماله لا علي العاقلة ... 

This ibaarat suggest that diyat is compulsory even in darul-kufr. I would appreciate Hazrat Mufti sahib's guidance in this matter.
