Jake Paul Convinces Hulk Hogan That His Fight with Mike Tyson Isn’t ‘Fake Like WWE
Mike Perry steps in as Tyson’s temporary replacement
The highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been postponed until mid-November due to Tyson’s recent health issues involving an ulcer. This development has left fans wondering if the delay might actually benefit Tyson, giving him additional time to recover and prepare.
Meanwhile, the spotlight shifts to Mike Perry, who steps in as Tyson’s temporary replacement. This switch has sparked mixed reactions among the boxing community.
Some see Perry‘s inclusion as a strategic move to keep the event on track, while others question the authenticity of the original Paul-Tyson matchup, suggesting it could have been a publicity stunt.
Hogan excited for Paul-Tyson matchup
WWE legend Hulk Hogan, in an interview with TMZ, expressed his enthusiasm for the original matchup, highlighting the vast audience of 270 million Netflix subscribers who would potentially tune in.
Hogan also seemed keen to ensure the legitimacy of the fight, directly questioning Paul about the authenticity of their upcoming bout.
“I’m friends with both guys,” Hogan said, as reported by World Boxing News.
“I love Mike to death, but I was in Miami for the Formula 1 races with Jake Paul, I pulled Jake aside and said, ‘Hey brother, what’s up with this thing?’
“Is this a work like wrestling, or are you guys going to really go at it? He says, ‘I’m gonna knock him out!’ So I’m excited about it. I’m glad it is rescheduled because I don’t want any excuses. I want both men at 100 percent. I get a feeling this will be the fight of the century, brothers. This is going to be a good one.”
