Jake Paul and Mike Tyson Facing Temporary Boxing Ban Following Netflix Fight

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson Face Brief Boxing Suspension After Major Showdown

Recently, both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have received medical suspensions following their highly publicized boxing match streamlined on Netflix. However, these suspensions are expected to be short-lived.

The much-anticipated clash took place in Dallas, Texas, on November 15, where Paul, known as the ‘Problem Child,’ emerged victorious against the legendary Tyson, earning a unanimous decision. At 58 years old, Tyson struggled to make significant impacts during the fight, highlighting the challenges of competing at such an advanced age.

Leading up to the match, Tyson revealed the health challenges he faced, admitting he “almost died”due to an ulcer flare-up that resulted in him receiving eight blood transfusions—losing nearly half of his blood in the process.

Details of the Suspension

In accordance with Texas’s professional boxing regulations, both fighters are now subject to a medically mandated suspension. As reported by MMAJunkie, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has imposed a 28-day suspension. This equates to three days for each round of their match.

What’s Next for Jake Paul?

For Jake Paul, the suspension is not expected to disrupt his plans significantly. He has spent considerable time arranging future fights and is unlikely to step in as a backup for any upcoming match within the next few weeks.

After the fight, Paul expressed disappointment regarding Tyson’s performance, stating, “I wish he would have put up a better fight so I could have risen more and done more.” He further commented that he “felt nothing”from any punches landed by Tyson, indicating that he did not perceive them as a threat. “It didn’t hurt. He didn’t really land anything,” he shared with his brother Logan during an episode of the podcast, ImPaulsive.

The Future of Mike Tyson

Considering his age and the outcome of this match, it appears unlikely that Mike Tyson will return to the boxing ring any time soon. Therefore, the impact of the suspension on his career may be minimal.
