Jake Paul may no longer be facing Mike Tyson in Saturday’s main-event boxing match, but tensions flared with his new opponent, Mike Perry, during Friday’s pre-fight faceoff. As they engaged in the traditional stare-down, heated exchanges escalated dangerously close to physical confrontation.
The confrontation began when Perry initiated physical contact by placing his hands on Paul. In response, Paul forcefully shoved Perry, causing him to stagger backward. Security swiftly intervened, forming a barrier between the two fighters to prevent further escalation.
Several security personnel were needed to restrain Perry and prevent him from retaliating against Paul before the official start of the fight. The incident added an unexpected layer of intensity to the already highly anticipated matchup between Paul and Perry, highlighting the volatile nature of pre-fight tensions in professional boxing.
