Mandatory restriction after KOH or RSCH
Changes in the AIBA Competition Rules and the new BAI Competition Rules brought about the following:
  • One KOH or RSCH means the boxer will be restricted from competing or sparring for a period of 30 days from the decision.
  • A second KOH or RSCH occurring within a 3-month period will mean the boxer is restricted from competing or sparring for a period of 90 days from the second KOH or RSCH.
  • A third KOH or RSCH occurring within a 12-month period will mean the boxer is restricted from competing or sparring for a period of 360 days from the third KOH or RSCH.
In summary, the ‘old’ 28-days rest no longer applies and the probation periods above shall be complied with.
