Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have both been suspended following Netflix boxing fight

The pair can look forward to spending some time on the sidelines

Both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have been suspended from boxing after their controversial Netflix bout.

Last night, (or this morning if you were watching in the UK) former YouTuber Paul managed to beat Tyson via unanimous decision - in a major blow to the 58-year-old boxing icon's legacy.

Tyson was able to take the upper hand early on in the fight, but fatigue would ultimately get to him - meaning that 27-year-old Paul was eventually able to come out on top.

However, both boxers will be hanging up their gloves for a little while, as they are set to be temporarily suspended from the sport.

The fight took place in Dallas and was therefore licenced under the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation - with the board implementing a condition in which the pair would both be suspended for a minimum of seven days to recuperate post-fight.

But the pair will be spending a little longer on the sidelines.

The guidance reportedly went on to state that each boxer should rest for three days per round fought.

Given that both Paul and Tyson were able to go the entire eight rounds, this means they will both be suspended from the sport for 24 days of rest in order to fully recover from the fight.

The reason for this is pretty straight forward, with the board of regulations stating: "Medical disqualification of a contestant is for their own safety and may be made at the recommendation of the examining physician or TDLR.

"A contestant who disagrees with a medical disqualification, medical suspension, or rest period set at the discretion of a ringside physician or a disqualification or suspension set by the department may request a hearing to show proof of fitness."

However, we can't imagine that either Paul or Tyson will be gearing up to book another fight anytime soon.

Not that the pair need to either, with both boxers earning enough to take the foreseeable future off.

According to reports, Paul banked around $40 million (£31.7 million) for the fight. Tyson, meanwhile, is said to have made $20 million (£15.8 million) from the night. Paul had even hinted at the pair making some pretty hefty bonuses on top that as well, which means both men can certainly put their feet up for a while.
