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.

Jake Paul has beaten Mike Tyson by unanimous decision, after eight rounds of boxing at two minutes each.

Tyson came out the blocks strong, but as the fight went on, Paul grew into the fight and started to dominate the 58-year-old, landing far more punches on Iron Mike has the rounds went on.

Paul looked to have dominated by the end, as according to Netflix, the 27-year-old landed 78 punches from 278 thrown (28 percent), while Tyson landed just 18 punches from 97 thrown (18 percent), as the gulf in age was highlighted to boxing fans.

After Netflix’s unofficial score cards gave rounds one and two to Tyson, the remaining six were given to Paul, as commentators and fans alike were certain of the outcome as the bout went on.

Millions tuned in to the fight as it broadcast live from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, live on streaming platform Netflix.

It was a first of its kind boxing event for Netflix, organised by Paul’s company Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), with eight fights in total taking place in the centre of the stadium that is home to the Dallas Cowboys.

Already tonight, some fans have endured streaming problems while trying to get the fight up, while millions at home were treated, or jump-scared, to Tyson’s bare a** in his locker room following a pre-fight interview.

Rescheduled from 20 July, it was originally called off due to serious health problems suffered by Tyson, 58, while on a plane.

Paul, 27, pocketed $40m (£31.1m) from the fight with Tyson taking home roughly $20m (£15.4m).

“I’m here to make $40m and knock out a legend,” Paul had boldly said before the bout.

Going into the fight, Paul was the bookies’ favourite, odds on at 2/5. Tyson was placed at 12/5 with a draw priced at 9/1.

Rules for the fight differed to normal professional bouts sanctioned by boxing federations, with 14oz gloves instead of 10z, two-minute rounds instead of three-minute, and eight rounds instead of the usual 12.

Heading in to the fight, Paul boasted a 10-1 record, with his only loss coming against Tommy Fury. Iron Mike, who hadn’t fought professionally in 20 years, had a 50-6-2 record.

Here is the eye-watering amount of money Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have reportedly made after their controversial Netflix fight.

After a postponement and speculation about whether or not it would actually go ahead, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul managed to beat legendary boxer Mike Tyson in the hotly anticipated Netflix bout at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Although ‘Iron Mike’ looked ahead during the early rounds of the fight, the 58-year-old soon began to tire out – allowing the much younger Paul to ultimately win the match via unanimous decision.

However, it’s fair to say that both men are winners when it comes to the amount of money made.

During the lead up to the fight, Paul had made no secret of the fact that his main motive for taking on Tyson was financial gain, telling SPORTbible in an exclusive interview: “This is definitely my biggest payday, of all the fights for sure.”

Tyson on the other hand, had appeared less forthcoming when it came to talk of money, adding that he was instead ‘seeking glory’ from the bout.

However, we imagine that Tyson is certainly grateful for the bumper paycheck after losing to 27-year-old Paul.

According to numerous reports, Tyson has walked away with a tidy $20 million (£15.8 million) for his efforts. Paul on the other hand, is set to have banked a much higher fee – earning a whopping $40 million (£31.7 million) for his trouble.

Which means that when it comes down to the cash – let’s be honest here – both men have left the ring winners.

This may not be the final total for both of the men either, with Paul even claiming the pair could be in to make some pretty hefty bonuses should certain targets be hit during the fight.

“There are definitely certain guaranteed figures and other certain built-in bonuses and stuff on top of sales – key performance indicators that trigger certain things,” Paul explained.

Paul didn’t elaborate further on the bonuses, however, we can only imagine it’s been a pretty lucrative night for The Problem Child.

The most controversial boxing match ever is almost upon us as 27-year-old Jake Paul takes on a 58-year-old Mike Tyson tomorrow evening (15 November).

Purists and casual spectators alike will be tuning in to Netflix’s first ever live broadcast at the 60,000 capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Paul said at the press conference last night: “I fear no man. So I want him to be that old savage Mike. He says he’s going to kill me. I’m ready.

“I want that killer. I want the hardest match possible Friday night, and I want there to be no excuses from everyone at home when I knock him out.”

Tyson said: “I’m just ready to fight. I’ve said everything I had to say. There’s nothing else to say. I’m just looking forward to fighting.”

Since many of us already pay for the streaming service, it’ll be nice change to not pay extra to watch a boxing match.

But one group who certainly isn’t bothered about money is the company who splashed a whopping $2 million (£1.58 million) on a ringside package with six seats.

Fight organisers Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), co-founded by Paul, has sold its $2 million ‘MVP Owner’s Experience’, which will include to a ringside suite against the ring at the AT&T Stadium.

It’s basically a three-day experience featuring two ringside apron seats and four row one ringside seats.

There will be a post-fight in-ring experience with a photo opportunity and the buyers will get private VIP entrance to all events.

Also, they’ll get a two-night stay at the Loews Arlington Hotel and a private VIP green room on fight night, featuring an open bar and all-inclusive menu.

A dedicated host/concierge and personal security escort will be hand for the duration of the event.

The most bizarre detail? According to mock-ups of the ringside booth on X, it looks like after shelling out $2 million, the VIPs will be watching the fight on a TV rather than watching it happen in front of them.
