What are the mandatory suspensions after a knockout?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under regulation 10 of the Boxing Regulations:

Situation	Suspension of your licence
Knocked out by a blow to the head	Automatic 90 days, with no contact training
Knocked out by head blows in two consecutive fights within six months	Automatic six months, no contact training
Knocked out by a body blow, or excessive punishment in the supervisory official's opinion	The supervisory official may suspend you for 30 days
Very severe punishment from an early TKO or multiple knockdowns	The supervisory official may suspend you for 60 days
Head-blow knockouts in four consecutive fights, or severe punishment	Boxing SA may order you to retire
Head-blow knockouts in five consecutive fights	Licence automatically cancelled; no return until a thorough neurological examination by a neurologist or neurosurgeon appointed by Boxing SA, at your cost

You and your manager are both responsible for making sure the automatic suspensions are obeyed. The ringside physician also records a suspension recommendation after any knockout, stoppage or severe punishment.
