One of the fistfighters in Beauclair is called Mancomb (paraphrasing Guybrush), and he also engages with Geralt in the taunting sparring.

The "boxing" encounter mentioned above was fun, and I wish there were more missions that could be solved peacefully.
At other times I wish it was possible to kill NPCs, but almost everyone is immortal.

Yeah, I discovered that quest when traveling back to Beauclair from the Termes palace ruins (after exploring the crypts there to find grandmaster wolven gear diagrams), so I already got some background on the conflict between humans and elves that happened in that area in the past, so Extreme Cosplay fell right into the context I was just analyzing before that.
I'm not in NG+, but I'm using Death March so those statues are indeed very hard, since they teamed up pikemen with sorceresses and when they all attack together it's huge amount of damage. So not getting surrounded was the first priority. Using some bombs and evasion I managed to distract the pikemen enough to take them out gradually. Then I tried to stall sorceresses with Axii. It barely works on them, and they also have some kind of force shields similar to Quen. Felt bad about it, and wasn't sure if they were really machines, they felt quite alive. Probably one of the hardest fights in the game so far (may be besides for Eredin and the Toad prince).
I actually manage to avoid killing in some encounters, unless necessary in self defense. For example, I was exploring the Bastoy prison ruins, and that hooded woman turned into an Alp. I managed to get the treasure there without killing her, assuming she was just defending her territory. Axii works wonders.
