Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have both been handed suspensions following boxing match

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will be given suspensions following their boxing match.

Former Disney Channel star Paul, 27, accumulated more points in their highly anticipated fight on Friday.

The fight was a long time coming for boxing fans, who have spent months waiting for YouTuber Paul to finally enter the ring against boxing icon Tyson, 58.

The pair fought at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and the bout streamed on Netflix for viewers across the globe.

However, both boxers will be suspended from the ring — and it’s not because either of them broke any rules.

The forced break comes through an order from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversaw the fight in Arlington.

No matter who won, both Tyson and Paul will have to rest for at least seven days.

Additional rest days are tacked on according to the number of rounds fought, with three days handed for every round. There were eight rounds on Friday, which means they will likely be away from the ring for a maximum of 24 days.

Both talked a big game in the run-up to the event, with Paul going as far as to claim Tyson 'must die', while Tyson has made clear that he's 'not intimidated or afraid' of Paul.

Despite Paul’s victory, Tyson doesn't think last night's defeat will be his last time in the ring.

When asked if that would be the case, Tyson said after his historic loss: "I don’t know. It depends on the situation.

“I don’t think so," he doubled down.

He went on to praise Paul's performance and hailed him as a 'good fighter'.

"I didn’t prove nothing to anyone, just myself," Tyson continued.

"I’m not one of these guys who goes out to please the world, I’m just happy with what I can do."

Paul was also asked after the match if he was ‘pulling’ punches, or going relatively easy on the boxing icon.

"I was scared he was going to hurt me, I was trying to hurt him,” Paul said.

Answering someone's question about if he took his foot off the gas in later rounds, Paul said: "Yeah, definitely, definitely a bit. I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn’t want [to hurt him]."

Paul said it was an 'honor' to fight Tyson, and labelled him as an 'icon'.
