For purposes of this section, trophies, travel expenses and subsistence expenses shall not be considered prizes.

If the boxer loses due to a technical knockout or is knocked unconscious, the boxer cannot fight for a 30-day period. No boxer shall participate in these contests, matches, or exhibitions unless the boxer has submitted an affidavit of physical fitness, subscribed and sworn to under oath, to the board and has been examined by a physician designated by the board. The affidavit must state that the boxer has regularly trained for at least 60 days under the supervision of a second licensed by the board of boxing or a second or trainer licensed in another jurisdiction or the equivalent. The examination must include an electroencephalogram if the boxer has been knocked unconscious in boxing competition.

The examination shall be performed at the expense of the promoter.

The board may order an electroencephalogram before any contest, match, or exhibition if it determines that the examination is necessary to protect the health of the boxer. The examination must be performed at the expense of the promoter.
