If the length of the hair interferes with the bout and corrective measures are not taken, the bout and the boxer will be:

• A. Postponed; Reprimanded
• B. Restarted; Reinstated
• C. Terminated; Disqualified
• D. Canceled; Barred

Answer: (C)

When a boxer’s hair length interferes with the bout and cannot be corrected promptly, safety and fair play require stopping the fight. If corrective measures aren’t taken, the referee terminates the bout. The boxer then faces disqualification from that match, meaning the opponent wins by disqualification. This outcome fits because a rule violation that can’t be quickly remedied ends the contest and assigns the appropriate penalty for the offender. Postponing or restarting isn’t appropriate when the issue can’t be resolved immediately, and canceling or barring would imply broader consequences than the immediate bout.
