What does the timekeeper do, including after a knockdown?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under regulation 29 of the Boxing Regulations, the timekeeper:

sits at ringside next to the bell or gong (on the fourth side, with the three judges on the others), on a chair high enough for a clear view, with a stopwatch that allows for stoppages;
sounds the bell or gong to start and end each round, but must not sound the end of a round while a boxer is being counted out;
calls "seconds out!" and the round number 10 seconds before each round starts, and before the last round calls "last round" and "shake hands";
gives the referee and boxers a signal 10 seconds before the end of each round;
when a boxer is down, motions the one-second intervals with an arm to help the referee's count, though the referee's count is the official count;
stops the clock if the referee becomes incapacitated, so a substitute can continue the round from that time.

Time taken by referee-ordered stoppages does not count towards the round (regulation 19(4)). Rounds are 3 minutes for men and 2 for women, with 1 minute between rounds.
