Disqualification (DQ)
A result where a fighter is removed from the contest for repeated rule violations or an egregious foul. The other fighter is awarded the win by disqualification. DQs are relatively rare, but they are an official outcome.
If Fighter A continually hits below the belt despite warnings, the referee could issue a **disqualification** after, say, the third foul. Fighter B would win by DQ. In betting, a win by DQ often is grouped with KO/TKO (since it’s a non-scorecards stoppage) – so “win by KO/TKO/DQ” bets would cash.
