The first seven rules:

Only the boxers and their seconds could climb into the ring
The prohibition of private arrangements between boxers in terms of money
The selection of referees to settle disputes between boxers
The prohibition of hitting an opponent when s/he is down

Ever since 2009 United Kingdom Boxing Union (UKBU) has evolved, risen up and transformed the way we look at this wonderful sport called boxing, for the organisation most important thing is the safety, health and respect for the boxer who steps into the ring with a thirst to win, to please his/her public regardless of the risk s/he may face.
