Outside of his UFC and BKFC success, ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry is eager to showcase his skills to the broader combat sports audience. The former MMA standout, now a notable figure in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), is preparing for a significant matchup against Jake ‘The Problem Child’ Paul in a boxing ring on July 20 in Tampa, Florida. Perry is aiming for a potential upset victory and believes in gradually increasing pressure and volume throughout the fight rather than an early knockout.
In an interview with ESPN, Perry discussed his strategy against Paul, acknowledging the challenge of facing a larger opponent. He anticipates building pressure and aiming for significant strikes to wear down Paul, ideally leading to a late-round outcome in his favor. Coming off his prominent role in BKFC, Perry sees this bout as an opportunity to gain valuable boxing experience and showcase his skills to a global audience.
