Mike Tyson and Jake Paul now face suspensions from boxing after their eight-round fight Friday, November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Paul beat Tyson by decision . Issuing suspensions is a common procedure in combat sports, particularly when a fighter has suffered a knockout.
The suspension, which includes a ban on sparring, is designed to ensure that athletes sufficiently recover from any injuries that they may have sustained during a fight. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversaw the Tyson vs Paul event, will ensure both fighters will rest. It is, as of yet, unclear how long that rest will have to last, but it will last for a minimum of seven days.

If it was via knockout, though, that suspension would have been extended to 60 days. "Medical disqualification of a contestant is for their own safety and may be made at the recommendation of the examining physician or TDLR," a statement from the regulator said .
The fight aired on Netflix, but midway through the show, when Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor combined for a classic fight, many viewers said on social media that they were experiencing streaming issues and were unable to watch the bout in full. Taylor edged a win over Serrano with three scores of 95-94 to retain the undisputed WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF lightweight championship titles. It was a result that Serrano did not accept, as she called the decision "shady.
