The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has suspended boxers Mike Tyson and Jake Paul for a statutory 24-day period.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have been handed mandatory 24-day suspensions by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation following their high-profile bout in Arlington on Saturday. The YouTuber-turned-boxer and former undisputed heavyweight champion received the minimum suspension period required by the state's regulatory body.

In the buildup to Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, there were questions about the Netflix boxing headliner being a real fight, particularly because it featured a 27-year-old squaring off against a 58-year-old.

The bout attracted a record-breaking crowd of 70,000 fans, with Paul securing a unanimous decision victory after eight rounds, thereby improving his professional record to 11-1. This match marked Tyson's return to the ring almost 20 years after his retirement.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation states that "contestants who are age 36 or older, must submit a report of favorable physical testing."
