Well, it looks like Jake Paul is going to box a Mike after all this summer, but not Mike Tyson.
The YouTube star turned professional boxer is set to compete against former UFC fighter and now bare-knuckle boxer Mike Perry in a boxing match on July 20 in Tampa, Fla.
Most Valuable Promotions announced the eight-round cruiserweight bout on Tuesday. It will air on DAZN pay-per-view.
Paul (9-1) was originally scheduled to fight Tyson on July 20 live on Netflix, but the bout was postponed to November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. “The Problem Child” is coming off back-to-back first-round knockouts of Andre August in December, followed by Ryan Bourland in March.
Paul said he intends to beat Perry, then will still fight Tyson on Nov. 15 in Arlington, Texas.
“When Paul vs. Tyson was rescheduled, I knew immediately that I wanted to still fight on Saturday, July 20. Now, as I prepare for my fight against Iron Mike, there’s no better opponent for me than Mike Perry,” said Jake Paul. “He’s a proven knockout artist who has shown to be a maniac in and out of the ring. This is the perfect experience for me to gain in advance of facing Mike Tyson. But getting that experience comes with risk. Those who know me know I’m a risk taker and while ‘Platinum’ Perry might try to end me, I’m Titanium Jake Paul and I fear no man. I’m going to get the W and give everyone a preview of what I’m bringing to the ring against Mike Tyson. Tune in on DAZN PPV as I return to Tampa and send ‘Platinum’ Perry the Platypus back to bare knuckle for good.”
Meanwhile, Perry (0-1), who hold the King of Violence title in BKFC, is undefeated since leaving the UFC in 2021. Most recently, he defended his title against Thiago Alves in April. He’s defeated several notable names in his bareknuckle boxing run, including Michael Page, Luke Rockhold, and Eddie Alvarez.
“Jake Paul claims he fears no man, but on Saturday, July 20, the world will see the truth: he just made the worst mistake of his life in trying to get through me before Iron Mike,” said Mike Perry. “I’m going to make it look easy on Saturday July 20th, and I’m going to teach Jake Paul the most he’s ever learned about fighting.”
Also added to the card is Amanda Serrano vs. Stevie Morgan in a super lightweight bout of 10, two-minute rounds.
