Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will now be "suspended" for some time following their fight on Friday night, according to a report by The Mirror.
However, this suspension is not because of something illegal or any violation of a policy. Instead, it is part of the rules mandated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The Mirror emphasized before the fight started that "both men will be handed suspensions no matter who wins." Nonetheless, it is technically a rest requirement.
Since the Tyson-Paul clash was a professional bout, rather than an exhibition match, both fighters are required to adhere to the mandatory requirements set by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, who sanctioned the fight.
According to the regulations, both Tyson and Paul must undergo a mandatory three-day rest for every round they fought. Since their bout went the full eight rounds, the two must now rest for 24 days.
"Mandatory rest—all contestants shall receive a mandatory rest period of calculated as three days of rest for each round fought with no less than a seven day mandatory rest period," the regulation stated.
Both boxers also need to undergo "post-contest examination," which could lead to potential medical suspensions or disqualifications. According to the regulation, "medical suspension will be based upon the physician's recommendation."
Since no one was knocked out in the fight, though, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul aren't facing medical disqualification. Paul beat Tyson via unanimous decision, with the judges scoring it 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.
While both Tyson and Paul can't fight for the next three weeks or so, it's unlikely they will be in a rush to get back into the ring. Both boxers are likely to take the opportunity to recover and enjoy the massive purse they are set to receive from the matchup..
Tyson is set to earn an estimated $20 million from the fight, while Paul is expected to get $40 million.

New York Knicks Predicted to Trade Karl-Anthony Towns For Dallas Mavericks Star
The New York Knicks have had a busy summer thus far as they have made multiple additions to their roster to try and improve off their run to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Of course, the Knicks also made a head coaching change to begin the summer as they fried Tom Thibodeau and replaced him with two-time Coach of the Year winner Mike Brown. During free agency, New York added Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele to upgrade their bench at a cheap cost, which is an area that they struggled with last season. The Knicks do have one more roster spot open which they will likely use to add another veteran player to their bench. While the Knicks have focused on upgrading their depth this summer, Sports Illustrated’s Jackson Caudell recently created a mock trade that would see New York send Karl-Anthony Towns to the Dallas Mavericks for one of their star players along with depth. In the trade, the Knicks would acquire Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington from the Mavericks while Dallas would land Towns and Vit Krejci. The Atlanta Hawks are the third team involved in the trade and they would receive Caleb Martin and two second-round picks from the Mavericks. For the Knicks, it would be a tough decision to move on from Towns but they would be able to fill some glaring holes in their roster with their return in this deal. Thompson would give them a much-needed three-point sharpshooter in their starting lineup while both Washington and Gafford would be major additions to their frontcourt, especially on the defensive end. Despite this, the Mavericks may not want to move on from three of their key players to acquire Towns, who struggled in the playoffs last season, primarily on defense. While that may be the case, making this trade would be a massive upgrade to the Knicks’ lineup and depth that could make them the team to beat in the Eastern Conference next season.
Milwaukee Brewers: Eugenio Suarez Trade Rumors Heat Up, MLB Analyst Gives 1 Reason Team Could Have Upper Hand
The Milwaukee Brewers, at 61-41, lead the Chicago Cubs by one game in the two-team race for the National League Central Division and currently have the best record in all Major League Baseball. With 60 games remaining, though, the season is far from over and several other contending teams are about to get a whole lot better very soon. This, of course, is because the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline is right around the corner. Many teams, including Milwaukee’s biggest challengers in the National League, have been rumored and linked to various stars that are on the trade block. One of the biggest names that is expected to be moved is Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez, a two-time All-Star who is hitting .252/.325/.593 with 36 home runs and a Major League-leading 86 RBI. And while he has been linked to many teams, including the Cubs, one MLB analyst thinks the Brewers will have the upper hand if they choose to pursue him. Why the Milwaukee Brewers Could Land Eugenio Suarez in a Trade Brewers third baseman Caleb Durbin is making a case for himself to be considered for the National League Rookie of the Year Award, hitting .260/.345/.376 with five home runs and 35 RBI. But one thing that Milwaukee is seriously lacking on offense is a power hitter who can consistently hit home runs and elevate the rest of the team around him. The Brewers score many runs by utilizing small ball and taking advantage of mistakes made by opposing defenses. With so many hitters that are younger and do not have a consistent power swing, many analysts think that the Brewers would want to trade for Suarez ahead of the deadline. And one of these analysts thinks there is one thing that would tip the scales in Milwaukee’s favor in a bidding war: their pitching depth. “The vibes are immaculate right now and just about everything is going right. Why stir the pot at the trade deadline? I don’t see it that way. I see an excellent team that is as well-positioned to make a World Series run as any point in franchise history. Caleb Durbin has been red hot the last few weeks at third base, though Suárez would still be an upgrade, plus smart teams figure out how to make the “more good players than lineup spots” thing work. “Milwaukee might finish with only three double-digit home run guys this year. Suárez has game-changing power and is an excellent clubhouse guy, plus the Brewers are pretty much the only contender with rotation depth to spare. The Diamondbacks are said to be seeking young pitching in any trade. The Brewers have it. They match up very well as trade partners.” As one can see, CBS Sports believes that Milwaukee can part with one of their young controllable arms to win the Suarez sweepstakes. The big question, though, is if they would be willing to do so. Jose Quintana and Nestor Cortes will be gone next season, leaving in free agency. Freddy Peralta only has one more year left on his contract. Brandon Woodruff’s future with the team is unknown despite the good vibes surrounding his long-awaited comeback. In other words, the Brewers will need to restock their starting rotation next year, making parting with any of their current pieces a difficult decision.
Phillies Predicted to Strike Three-Team Trade with Yankees for Outfield Upgrade
The Philadelphia Phillies are expected to be active ahead of the trade deadline, and one glaring need stands out above the rest: find a new center fielder. Philadelphia’s current outfield mix of Nick Castellanos, Brandon Marsh, Max Kepler, and Johan Rojas has underwhelmed, sending the president of baseball operations, Dave Dombrowski, to the trade market to find an upgrade. While a long-term solution like Boston’s Jarren Duran or even a rental like Baltimore’s Cedric Mullins would be ideal, the Phillies may pivot toward a cheaper option. One name gaining traction is New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham, who CBS Sports’ Mike Axisa predicts the Phillies to acquire in a three-team trade at the deadline. "The Phillies badly need an outfielder. A center fielder, preferably," wrote Axisa. "The Yankees are rumored to be open to moving one of their three non-Aaron Judge outfielders (Grisham, Cody Bellinger, Jasson Domínguez) for a badly needed third baseman.” Axisa continues by explaining how a trade between the Phillies, Yankees, and Minnesota Twins could fulfill each team’s deadline needs. “The Phillies and Yankees don't match up well for an outfielder-for-third baseman trade, which is where the Twins come in. Rental Grisham for rental (Willi) Castro makes no sense for Minnesota. If they're selling, they won't want a rental. They'll want controllable young players, so a three-team trade in which Grisham goes to Philadelphia, Phillies prospects go to Minnesota, and Castro goes to the Yankees could be in the cards." Grisham is in the middle of a career year, already tying a personal best in home runs (17) and posting a career-high .833 OPS. For Philadelphia, acquiring the left-handed hitter would almost be perfect, outside of a blockbuster deal for the aforementioned Jarren Duran. The Phillies would replace Kepler in the lineup with Grisham and shift Marsh from center to left field, adding depth to the outfield in the process. Moreover, Grisham, an impending free agent, wouldn’t disrupt the club’s long-term plan for top prospect Justin Crawford to take over center field in 2026. He wouldn’t crowd an already packed outfield full of players vying for roles, either. While the move could further agitate Kepler—who’s already criticized manager Rob Thomson over limited playing time—the Phillies must act now. With their World Series window closing, they must capitalize on every opportunity to strengthen the roster.
DeMarcus Cousins Says Warriors Have A Separate Plane For Families: Treatment In Golden State Is Unmatched
DeMarcus Cousins recently gave Golden State Warriors fans a rare glimpse behind the curtain, and what he revealed wasn’t about Xs and Os, it was about how the franchise treats its players like family. Speaking on FanDuel TV, Cousins echoed Jimmy Butler’s praise for the Warriors, calling them one of the top organizations in the league. But what stood out most was his revelation that the Warriors go so far as to provide a separate plane just for players’ families during the playoffs. In an NBA where marginal advantages matter, this is elite-level care that few franchises offer. "Being a guy that was a part of the organization, I can agree with Jimmy 100%. It’s definitely one of the top organizations in the NBA. They treat their players well. They treat players’ families well." "From, you know, meal plans on the road to traveling, I mean, during the playoffs, finals, they have their own separate plane just for players’ family members. So it's not many organizations doing that. So what he's saying is absolutely true." "Obviously, it's early, but I know dealing with the Warriors myself, the organization is going to roll out the red carpet for him. They want him to feel welcome. They want him to feel like he's a part of the family." "And, you know, I think Jimmy’s also showing he’s putting his best foot forward. So I think it's coming from both sides. And it makes sense. You want it that way. You want to make this relationship work. You want your investment to work." "And, you know, giving the extension to Jimmy at this point in his career, it makes sense. Everybody's playing their part to make this work. As of right now, it’s working." Since arriving in the Golden State last season, Jimmy Butler has done more than fit in, he’s elevated the team on both ends of the floor. He averaged 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game on an efficient 47.6% shooting. But his biggest impact has come on the defensive end. With Butler in the lineup, the Warriors posted the best defensive rating in the NBA. That’s no coincidence. His tenacity, leadership, and focus on the little things turned a good defense into an elite one. Golden State went 23–7 in the regular season with Butler in the lineup. They knocked off the rising Houston Rockets in a gritty seven-game first-round series. But misfortune struck in Round 2. Stephen Curry, the heartbeat of the team, injured his ankle in Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves and missed the next four games. The Warriors fell in five, leaving fans wondering just how far they could have gone with a healthy roster. That heartbreak, though, has only fueled optimism. With Curry healthy, Butler locked in, and a full offseason to gel, the Warriors are poised to make serious noise. The culture is elite. The system is proven. The foundation is as strong as ever. And Jimmy Butler, a player known for his intensity and no-nonsense approach to basketball, has found a home in Golden State’s player-first ecosystem. The Warriors' investment in Butler isn’t just about wins, it’s about values. It’s about creating an environment where players want to stay, build, and chase greatness together. With stars like Cousins and Butler both vouching for Golden State’s unmatched treatment of players and families, it’s clear the franchise is doing things right on and off the court.
