Jake Paul and Mike Tyson’s boxing bans CONFIRMED after YouTuber beat heavyweight legend in Netflix showdown
JAKE PAUL and Mike Tyson have had medical boxing bans CONFIRMED following their fight on Netflix.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul defeated heavyweight great Tyson over eight rounds in Texas.
And despite little action taking place, both have received customary suspensions from Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
According to MMA Junkie, they have each been issued a 24 day ban – which equates to three days of rest per round fought.
Katie Taylor, 38, defeated Amanda Serrano, 36, in a thrilling rematch to repeat her 2022 victory.
And they have been hit with 45-day suspensions after their classic.
Tyson, 58, returned for his first professional bout in 20 YEARS and over 100 MILLION tuned in on Netflix to watch.
It caused the site to CRASH while £16.3m was made through ticket sales alone as 72,000 packed into the AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
Paul has improved to 11-1 and the 27-year-old has teased sensationally fighting Mexican legend Canelo Alvarez, 34, next year.
His business partner Nakisa Bidarian told Ariel Helwani: “Jake Paul doesn’t need Canelo from a fan perspective nor from a belt perspective because they are not going to fight for the belts Canelo holds.

“Canelo certainly doesn’t need Jake Paul to make money either.
“For me, it has to be more than that. It has to be a desire to once again have the world stop and pay attention to this beautiful sport of boxing.
“Have the world look at it and say ‘Wow! Boxing is back’… the hurdle is not money.”
