Mike Perry is skeptical that Jake Paul would ever agree to face him under bare-knuckle boxing rules. Their upcoming bout on July 20th is set to be a traditional boxing match, following the postponement of Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson due to Tyson’s health issues.
In an interview with MMAFighting.com, Perry expressed doubt that Paul would entertain the idea of a bare-knuckle fight after they meet in the ring with 10-ounce gloves. Perry emphasized his belief that he will defeat Paul under these boxing rules and suggested that Paul would not want to risk facing him in a bare-knuckle bout afterward.
Perry is confident in his ability to challenge Paul and has set his sights on potentially taking the place of the highly anticipated Mike Tyson fight. While opinions vary on the outcome of their upcoming bout, Perry’s determination and readiness in combat sports are widely acknowledged, setting the stage for an intriguing showdown against Jake Paul.
