US Suspension laws....

Just wandering does anyone know what the Suspension laws (if any) there are if a fighter gets KO'd in the states?
I notice that Tim Austin is scheduled to appear again later this month, this despite being stopped in his last fight - last week.
Is this fight just slow to being knocked off the schedules, or is it because US has slack suspension laws?

Thats true, neither his loss or his next fight were in big state commisions.
What would happen if a Brit fought in say Ohio, got stopped, could he fight in the UK the next week or would he still be suspended by the BBBoC?

For all its faults the BBBoC seem to care about the safety of fighters and vet all the shows well (despite a woeful website) so I think they'd ban the fighter for the 90 days and mae sure he is properly tested and not just given the once over by some US hick quack. Its an interesting connundrum though.
Of course, the question the other way round is another thought I haven't considered.
Could say, Dean Phillips, be allowed to fight in Ohio tommorrow.

Austin got a 30 day suspension.
His "next" fight was entered before the Aiken loss, so its probably off.

Not that I know of. Certain states pretty much hand you a license and say have fun getting your head beat in.

There is no country wide body in America. Some states don't even have a boxing board at all, so fighters can fight there with complete impugnity.

I believe Michael Grant tried to fight without a state commission and it got shut down.

I believe that the suspension is valid in all ABC states.
