Jake Paul is leaving no stone unturned in preparation for his upcoming clash with Mike Perry.

The pair square off on July 20 in an eight-round cruiserweight contest at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Paul was supposed to duke it out with Mike Tyson on the same date.

However, their controversial crossover contest was postponed until November 15 with ‘Iron Mike’ deemed medically unfit to compete this summer after suffering an ulcer flare-up.

Perry, who has established himself as one of the best bare-knuckle boxers on the planet since leaving the UFC in 2021, was then drafted in to keep ‘The Problem Child’ active while he waits for his money-spinning Netflix bout with Tyson.

‘Platinum’ is the much smaller man having never competed above 185lbs during his combat sports career but unlike most of Paul’s opponents, he is in his physical prime at 32 years old.

On paper, Perry is one of the toughest tests of Paul’s ten-fight (9-1) pro boxing career and by the looks of the training footage being uploaded to the YouTuber’s Instagram page, he is being treated as such.

In one post Paul can be seen shoe-shining on a spinning burn rotator machine – a contraption that boxers use to build up hand speed and forearm strength.

Flooding to the comment section, fans expressed their amazement at how quickly Paul’s hands were moving.

Reacting to the clip, one supporter wrote: “Dang he’s fast.”

Another added: “So fast.”

A third commented: “Lightning quick hands.”

Meanwhile, another fan posted: “The speed is ridiculous.”

Paul has expressed his willingness to rematch Perry in MMA after their boxing bout.

The ex-Disney star signed with PFL in January 2023 but has had trouble finding an opponent for his MMA debut.

“I’m down – when I beat Mike Perry in boxing, f*** it, we can run it in MMA,” Paul said in an interview with DAZN.

“I want an MMA fight. The (PFL) Smart Cage is literally right there.

“Once I start MMA, my wrestling background is going to come out, and I think I’ll be a very dangerous MMA fighter, as well.

“So, Mike Perry can get it – my hands are trisexual.”
