What happens to a boxer after being knocked out?

Under regulations 10 and 24 of the Boxing Regulations:

• The boxer's seconds may not touch them until the ringside physician has attended and given instructions, and the boxer must be examined by the physician before leaving the venue.
• A knockout from a blow to the head means an automatic 90-day suspension with no contact training.
• Two head-blow knockouts in consecutive fights within six months: automatic six-month suspension.
• A body-shot knockout or excessive punishment can bring a 30-day suspension, and very severe punishment from an early stoppage or multiple knockdowns a 60-day suspension, at the supervisory official's discretion.
• Four consecutive head-blow knockouts: Boxing SA may order the boxer to retire. Five: the licence is automatically cancelled until a full neurological examination.

Separately, every boxer must wait 14 to 30 days between bouts depending on the length of the last fight, and may have no more than six bouts a year, without Boxing SA's permission.
