The highly anticipated fight between the legendary Mike Tyson and young up-and-comer Jake Paul ended without much fireworks.
After eight rounds, Paul was given the win by unanimous decision, yet many think there was some fishy business behind the scenes.
However, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations says that each fighter must be suspended for three days for each round they fought in.
Because they went the full eight rounds, Paul and Tyson were suspended from boxing for 24 days each.
The #MikeTyson vs #JakePaul fight has already had a ton of outcomes many weren’t expecting.

If Paul or Tyson wants to appear in another fight before the suspension is lifted, they must appeal to the TDLR, which likely wouldn’t be a quick process.
However, that scenario is unlikely, as fighters appearing in events close to each other are uncommon because they are dangerous.
