There was little left to be able to enjoy one of the biggest attractions in boxing today. We will still have to wait to see the return of Mike Tyson to the rings, although we are not going to be left without a fight, since Mike Perry was announced as a rival for Jake Paul on the original date on which Logan’s brother had to have faced the legendary boxer.
The next SaturdayJuly 20th We will clear up doubts and see who swallows his words, since Both boxers have been quite active on the networks and before the media., about his possibilities and those of his rival. In an interview with the podcast Morning CombatPerry has discussed what his options are for combat, saying:
“Boxing is different from UFC where we can work more on the clinch; I don’t know how much they’re going to allow us in this fight and I know Jake is already excited. I love fighting your passion and I’m going to put all my effort into not letting anyone down.”
The precedents of Perry v. Paul
Perry and Paul already faced each other three years ago in a fight in which the first made sparring for the seconda moment that Perry remembered like this in the podcast:
“The fight it was three years ago, a week before he fought Daniel Rodríguez. I was about 175 pounds, he was about 195 pounds. He landed a couple of direct punches on me that he can withstand in the second and third rounds. I remember that he went to his gym, with his people cheering and there I only had my wife and my two-month-old son, but the more they hit me, the angrier I get. Anger is where I am truly happy; I enjoy being angry. I’m really looking forward to the fight because If there’s anyone who could hurt Jake, it’s me.“.
Remembering his past in the UFC
Perry was barely two years competing in the UFCbetween 2016 and 2018, although after the fight with Donald Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 139 the company let his contract expire to sign for a fight company with “clean knuckles” Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC); However, Perry continues to carry that competition in his soul and thus defends it to anyone who comes in front of him:
“I still feel part of MMA and I fight for those kids. That’s why I want to show a different side to the more classic boxing in my boxing. I’m going to be too much for Jake Paul when it’s time to enter the ring“In fact Perry is no stranger to the Paul family as he also played Substitute wrestler in the fight between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis from October 14, 2023.
