The WBO adopts the ABC rules and they are as follows (WBO web site):
B. Intentional Fouls
1. If an intentional foul causes an injury, and the injury is severe enough to terminate the bout immediately, the boxer causing the injury shall lose by disqualification.
2. If an intentional foul causes an injury and the bout is allowed to continue, the Referee will notify the authorities and deduct 2 points from the boxer who committed the foul. Point deductions for intentional fouls are mandatory.
3. If an intentional foul causes an injury, and the injury results in the bout being stopped in a later round, the injured boxer will win by TECHNICAL DECISION if he is ahead on the score cards when the bout is stopped or the bout will result in a TECHNICAL DRAW if the injured boxer is behind or even on the score cards when the bout is stopped.
4. If a boxer injures himself while attempting to intentionally foul his opponent, the Referee will not take any action in his favor, and this injury will be the same as one produced by a fair blow.
5. If the referee feels that a boxer has conducted himself in an unsportsman-like manner he may stop the bout and disqualify the boxer.
6. A fighter who is hit with an accidental low blow must continue after a reasonable amount of time but no more than five (5) minutes or he will lose the fight.
