All bets placed on the William Hill Sportsbook are also subject to our
General Betting Rules and General Sports Betting Rules.
- A fight is defined as having started once the bell is sounded for the beginning of the first round.
- Should there be a withdrawal or a substitution of one of the boxers concerned, bets will be void.
- In the event of a no contest being declared or a technical draw being declared within the first four (4) rounds, all bets will be made void unless the outcome of a particular market has already been decided.
- If a bout is postponed, bets are void, with the exception of the Olympic Games, where bets will stand on the bout if it's fought before the closing ceremony.
- The Super Series Boxing fights are settled on the outcome declared by the three (3) judges scorecards and don't include Countback/4th Judge/Other Tie Breaking methods.
- If for any reason the selected number of rounds on which we're betting is changed, bets will stand on all markets unless specific reference is made in the individual market rules.
- #YourOdds or Enhanced Odds which involve selections that are made void by the above rule, are also void.
- The bell will signal the end of a round and the bell being sounded again will signal the start of the next round.
- Therefore, a boxer who withdraws after the bell is sounded to signal the start of the next round will be deemed to have lost in that round, even if there's no competitive action in that round.
- In the event of a wrong result being initially declared, bets will be settled on the corrected result as long as it's changed before the end of the TV broadcast.
- Later announcements, enquiries or changes won’t affect settlement.
