The referee shall count out a boxer who falls to the floor claiming foul because of a low blow. If a participant who has been knocked or has fallen through the ropes and onto the ring apron fails to be on his or her feet in the ring before the expiration of 10 seconds, the referee shall count him or her out as if he or she were down. If a participant who has been knocked or has fallen out of the ring and off the ring apron fails to be on his or her feet in the ring before the expiration of 20 seconds, the referee shall count him or her out as if he or she were down. A participant who has fallen or has been knocked out of the ring shall return to the ring unassisted. The referee may count out or deem counted out a boxer rendered unconscious or unable to rise during such time as medical attention is being provided to the boxer, and award a knockout.
