It was just confirmed that on Saturday, July 20th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Jake Paul (9-1) will square off against Mike Tyson (50-6)—the former heavyweight world boxing champion.
After leaving the UFC in 2021, “Platinum” (14-8 MM) signed a multi-fight deal with BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship).
Mike Perry revealed in an interview with “TMZ” that he would like to join Jake Paul in the cage:
Within BKFC? Paul Jake. Please, buddy, let me have it if he hurts Mike Tyson.
Perry went on, challenging “The Problem Child” to a street brawl:
Indeed, but he isn’t practicing bareknuckling. However, given the things Jake Paul has been doing, even things people would assume he’s frightened of, I wouldn’t rule it out. And the fact that so many people were terrified of it or worried about it is in part what drew me to bareknuckle. I thought, “It seems real to me.” I’m giving you a challenge, Jake, man: if you beat Mike Tyson, put yourself to the test and let’s have a street brawl.
Mike Perry concludes by thinking he could defeat Jake Paul (via MMAJunkie):
“F*ck, Jake. Yes, he has some talent, but I like to think that I can outshine him at the rate that he is outshining these taxi drivers, especially when it comes to bareknuckle fighting.
He will cry, flee, and huddle in the corner in the fetal posture if I hurt him.
Thiago Alves (23-15), a former UFC standout, will square off against Perry (32-23) in the main event of BKFC KnuckleMania 4 on Saturday, April 27 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Do you think Perry vs. Paul should happen again in the future?
