Fouls

Certain actions are deemed "fouls" and may result in the referee issuing a caution, a warning or even a disqualification.

Cautions may be given without stopping the contest. Three cautions for the same foul require a warning.

Warnings require the contest to be stopped, the infringement to be demonstrated, and the offender to be identified to the judges. The judges may inflict scoring penalties as a result.

Disqualification is mandatory on the third warning to a boxer in one bout.

The referee may warn or disqualify without a prior caution, if the foul is serious or deliberate.
