Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will be 'suspended' regardless of the result of their professional bout in Texas.

Paul welcomes Tyson back to the world of pro boxing under the jurisdiction of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations.

It will be contested over eight two-minute rounds following the intervention of Tyson, who made an unusual request to the commission.

And, per the body's regulations, both fighters will be ordered to rest regardless of the outcome of tonight's clash.

That's according to The Mirror, who claim both Paul and Tyson will be 'suspended' for a minimum of seven days.

The regulations state each fighter will be told to rest for three days for every round fought.

Paul and Tyson will also be assessed after the bout and if either fighter loses by TKO, they will be suspended for a maximum of 30 days.

However, if the fight ends in a knockout, then the beaten fighter will be medically suspended for at least 60 days.

But either boxer could appeal any suspension, with the regulations stating: "Medical disqualification of a contestant is for their own safety and may be made at the recommendation of the examining physician or TDLR. A contestant who disagrees with a medical disqualification, medical suspension or rest period set at the discretion of a ringside physician or a disqualification or suspension set by the department may request a hearing to show proof of fitness."

Paul's promotional company Most Valuable Promotions initially proposed an exhibition before it was shifted to a fully sanctioned pro fight.

They asked if the commission would allow the showdown to maintain those bigger gloves and round requirements.

On the two-minute rounds, MVP chief Nakisa Bidarian said: "Women fight under two minutes most times

"So, there's no reason that the men can't fight two-minute rounds for a championship fight or a pro fight. There's zero difference. If you actually think about equality, there should be zero difference... And so, for someone to say, 'This is only two-minute rounds' is like saying, 'Ooh, then women's fights aren't pro fights because they're two-minute rounds'."
