A boxer who has been knocked out shall be kept in a prone position until the boxer has recovered. When a boxer is knocked out, no one is to touch him or her, except the referee who will remove his or her mouthpiece, until the ring physician enters the ring and personally attends to the fallen boxer, and issues such instructions as he or she sees fit to the boxer's handlers. If a boxer has been knocked out or if a technical knockout decision has been rendered against him by the referee, such boxer shall be placed on the commission's ill and unavailable list for such a period of time as may be recommended by the ringside physician or any approved commission physician who may examine him or her but such period of time shall not be less than 30 days.

A boxer shall not be permitted to engage in any contact boxing during this period without the approval of the commission physician.
