Internet personality Jake Paul and his opponent, the legendary boxer Mike Tyson, have both received an official suspension from the sport after their highly anticipated and controversial Netflix fight.
Far from being a disciplinary measure, the suspension of both fighters for 24 consecutive days is following requirements set up by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation:
“Mandatory rest — all contestants shall receive a mandatory rest period calculated as three days of rest for each round fought with no less than a seven-day mandatory rest period,” the measure reads.
