Jake Paul is going back to his YouTube vlogging days with his latest jibe at rival Mike Perry ahead of their fight next week.
The pair will do battle on July 20 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida and have been going back-and-forth a lot in the pre-fight buildup. Perry is renowned as one of the toughest fighters around, going undefeated in BKFC since leaving the UFC in 2021.
But he will have to put up with some outrageous antics from Paul as the pair prepare to meet in what will be his first boxing match since a 2015 debut. The pair are set to go head-to-head for the first time next week, with the verbal battles already beginning.
Jake Paul catches Mike Perry out with traditional fight camp prank call
Since making his professional boxing debut in early 2020, Jake Paul has made one tradition a constant throughout his career. He, along with an ever-changing cast of pals, will call up either the coach of his opponent, or even the fighter themselves, in order to get in their head.
Paul or his friend will pretend to be a well-known journalist and interview the coach or fighter for a brief period. However, they will end that interview by asking a question about how brutally they are about to lose, often with some degree of crude sexuality to the joke.
Mike Perry ended up on the receiving end of such a call in the latest video posted to Paul’s second Instagram page Moreprblmchild. The social media star told fans: “The fight is just days away and we’re about to prank call my opponent Mike Perry. Tampa, see you there, we do this to every opponent.”
Paul then proceeded to claim to be Dan Rafael ‘from ESPN’, despite the fact that Rafael left the media outlet in 2020. He claimed to have been given Perry’s number by manager Malki Kawa, before insisting he had just a few questions for a ‘big article’ about the fight.
After skipping through Perry’s lengthy answer about how the fight was going to go and his excitement at fighting in his home state, Paul jumped straight into mocking his rival. He asked: “What are you going to do when Jake Paul knocks you the f*** out and shoves his c*** down your throat?”
Perry laughed off the prank, not initially knowing that it was Paul who was calling him. “I was wondering because he was saying Malki and ESPN?” He laughed. “That’s pretty gay bro, so f*** you man and you’re lucky I don’t know what your face looks like you little b**** or I’ll f*** you in the a** you f***ing f****.”
Paul then noted that in fact, Perry does know exactly what his face looks like, before adding: “F*** you, b****.” He then declared the prank a success and plugged tickets for the fight.
Mike Perry plans to send Jake Paul into deep waters in boxing grudge fight
Before their meeting, the last time Paul and Perry were in the ring together was the early part of 2021 when they sparred before the YouTuber’s bout with Ben Askren. While there is footage of Perry claiming that his rival ‘kicked his a**’, there’s minimal actual proof of how the sparring session went.
Perry insists that he has been playing Paul for years, and has had a game plan for what would happen if they actually fight. And after the social media star’s initially planned meeting with Mike Tyson was cancelled, the pair have been booked to finally face off in an hastily-arranged showdown.
And speaking with ESPN, he explained: “Maybe I make him miss and make him pay, if I knock him down or get him to go to a knee anywhere between- he said under three rounds, I said seven rounds because I need my pressure to build up.
“He’s supposedly a little bigger, got a little more weight so it’s going to have to build up on him. I’m the smaller guy so I got to hit him with the hard, fast shots and it has to build over time.”
