Controversial Fight Leads to Same Boxing Suspensions for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson

Following their eagerly awaited fight, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has suspended both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Following their Arlington fight, the couple was subject to a required minimum minimum suspension of twenty-four days.

Each fighter must rest for at least three days every round fought, according to TDLR rules; given the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the former undisputed heavyweight champion only battled for eight rounds, they will be suspended for twenty-four days.
Banns from competing will also affect Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor. Taylor won by a unanimous decision, therefore their battle covered the distance and both stars were suspended for 45 days. Paul and Tyson’s main event battle seemed to fall short of expectations even if Serrano and Taylor’s fight proved to be an amazing display of will and fortitude.
Tyson seemed to fatigue fast following a brief frenzy from the 58-year-old early in the bout, and Paul seized on his opponent’s lack of endurance. Following eight rounds of disappointing boxing, the 27-year-old received a unanimous decision; Paul bowed to Tyson in the waning seconds of the last round.
Paul apologised for not knocking out Tyson when he spoke to his supporters later, even though he had vowed he would.

“I’m sorry I didn’t knock him out,” Paul said, getting nods of appreciation from others around him for not flooring the 58-year-old legend—an act they felt was respectful. As the game went on, he also admitted to restraining his blows after witnessing Tyson’s difficulties.

“After I’d seen him tired I didn’t want to put too much hurt on him, but I wanted the fans to get a good experience,” he said. “But after I stopped getting hit, my aggressiveness and violence vanished as well. Mike is loved.

Paul also said that facing Tyson was “different” from his past bouts.

Particularly, his strategic preparation and mental change enabled him to predict Tyson’s moves and equip himself for challenges presented by his seasoned opponent. ” Fighting in a stadium, it is less personal and less loud so it is less nerve raking,” said Paul.
Arenas present more difficult fighting challenges. I walked out; I was cool, collected. I observed how I could tag him and touch him after first round evaluating his speed and getting his timing quite fast. The remaining was essentially history; I simply outboxed him and had fun.”

Having shown his ability as a massive draw with over 100 million viewers at peak, the self-assured young boxer feels it’s time he faced up against elite names. Paul feels he is on route to take a championship title shortly after defeating Tyson.

“I believe it could transpires in the next twenty-four months. I really do believe in my talent and power as well as my skills. And on that chronology, the cruiserweight category seems to be just for grabs
