109. Where a contestant falls from the ring or is thrown from the ring as the result of a legal blow, he shall, before the count of 20, return to the ring without the assistance of any person authorized to be present in his corner, failing which the referee shall stop the bout and declare a knock-out.
Where a person other than a person authorized to be present in the contestant’s corner assists the contestant, the referee shall determine whether the assistance received contributed to the contestant’s return to the ring. If so, he shall disqualify the contestant.
