Mandatory Suspension Period

Both fighters will now face a mandatory suspension from the sport. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which licensed the bout, enforces a post-fight suspension to ensure fighters can recover fully.

The board’s rules stipulate a minimum seven-day rest period, with an additional three days per round fought. Since the fight lasted all eight rounds, both boxers will be sidelined for 24 days.

The board explained, “Medical disqualification is for the contestant’s safety and is based on the recommendation of the examining physician.” Fighters can appeal the suspension if they can prove their fitness, though it seems unlikely either Paul or Tyson will seek to return to the ring immediately.

Million-Dollar Payouts

Both fighters walked away with significant earnings. Jake Paul reportedly made $40 million (£31.7 million), while Tyson earned $20 million (£15.8 million). Paul hinted at additional bonuses, suggesting the fighters will have plenty of time and resources to relax during their suspension.
