Following their much-hyped Netflix boxing event, both Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are facing a mandatory 24-day suspension from fighting, a decision made to prioritize their health after the grueling bout. This standard recovery period, enforced by governing boxing organizations, applies regardless of the fight’s outcome or the fighters’ post-match condition.
Jake Paul emerged victorious after going the full eight rounds against the 58-year-old heavyweight legend. Despite Paul’s dominant performance, with significantly more punches landed, both fighters showed resilience in the ring. Tyson, though visibly slower than his younger opponent, fought valiantly but was ultimately outmatched.
While the fight drew mixed reactions from fans—some labeling it as “underwhelming”—the suspension ensures that both fighters have adequate time to recover. For Tyson, who continues to defy age in the ring, and Paul, whose career blends boxing with entertainment, the hiatus provides an opportunity to focus on post-fight health evaluations.
The match marked the first live boxing event streamed on Netflix, adding a new chapter to both fighters’ careers. Though sidelined for now, both Tyson and Paul are expected to return to the spotlight soon, whether in the ring or through their larger-than-life personas outside it.
