Fight Night Approaches: Get Ready for the Brawl Between YouTube Star and MMA Veteran – Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry
The fight will take place at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
The cancellation of Jake Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson scheduled for July 20 did not upset the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s schedule.
He has kept his plans to step into the ring on the same date, although he found a new opponent to fulfill the commitment ahead of his fight with ‘Iron Mike’ on November 15.

His next opponent will be Mike Perry, former UFC fighter and current Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), with whom he will clash in an eight-round bout to be held at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
“He is a proven knockout artist who has proven to be a maniac in and out of the ring. This is the perfect experience for me before I face Mike Tyson. But getting that experience comes with risks. Those who know me know I’m a risk taker and while ‘Platinum’ Perry might try to take me down, I’m Titanium Jake Paul and I’m not afraid of anyone,” Paul stated in an interview with ESPN about his decision to find the ideal opponent for a fight while stepping into the ring with Mike Tyson.
For his part, Perry had long called for a fight against Paul and during an appearance on TMZ Sports television show revealed the intense rivalry he has with the YouTuber.
“We’ve never been friends. He’s never been good to me, he wanted to beat me up, and he’s a sneaky little snake, and I’m going to f*** him up by pulling his teeth out of his mouth. F*** ’em. F*** you, Jake. I’m going to break your face, b****.”
Since leaving the UFC, Perry joined BKFC, where he became the biggest star with an undefeated 5-0 record. His wins include notable names such as Luke Rockhold and Michael ‘Venom’ Page.
