Jake Paul’s jaw will get the rest is badly needs.

Jake Paul has been hit with an automatic suspension after losing via technical knockout to Anthony Joshua on Friday night.

The two-time heavyweight world champion defeated Jake Paul with relative ease in Friday night’s highly anticipated clash. As if losing in dominant fashion wasn’t hard enough, Paul had to be taken to the hospital with a fractured jaw.

And if that wasn’t already enough on his plate? The YouTube star will also have to serve a suspension because of rules from the Florida Athletic Commission, which sanctioned the fight.

As noted by Etienne Fermie of The Sun, Jake Paul has been suspended for a minimum of 60 days. The reason? FAC rules automatically ban a fighter who loses via knockout:

“The Miami fight was sanctioned by the Florida Athletic Commission (FAC).

And FAC rules dictate that boxers that have been knocked out must be banned from competition for at least 60 days. Should the knockout be considered particularly brutal, this number could be extended.”

Someone as competitive and fiery as Paul might want to get back into the ring to make up for his brutal defeat. But with his jaw needing ample time to recover, a suspension isn’t the worst thing.

Paul’s loss to Anthony Joshua marked only the second defeat in his career as a professional. This was also Paul’s first loss via knockout. His first defeat came at the hands of Tommy Fury via split decision on Feb. 26, 2023.

Jake Paul went on to win his next six fights, including a victory over the legendary Mike Tyson on Nov. 15 of last year. But it wasn’t to be against Joshua, whose greater size and experience proved to be way too much for the YouTube sensation.

Paul has fought five times since 2024. It’ll be interesting to see how long he waits until setting up his next showdown. It’s safe to say that he won’t want to face another world champion boxer next time, though.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
