Jake Paul has been warned that his fight with Mike Tyson may be permanently cancelled following its earlier postponement this year. Originally scheduled for this weekend in Texas, Tyson withdrew due to health issues, rescheduling the bout for November 15. Meanwhile, Jake Paul is set to face former UFC star Mike Perry in Florida this weekend.
Perry, known for his success in bare-knuckle boxing, confidently stated during a face-off with Paul that he plans to spoil Paul’s return to the ring against Tyson. He asserted, “That’s not happening,” to which Paul responded by emphasizing his willingness to take risks and stay active in the sport. Paul described the upcoming fight with Perry as a warm-up or “Mike appetiser” before facing Tyson, aiming to demonstrate his readiness to continue on his path towards becoming a world champion.
Despite the setback with Tyson, Paul remains focused on his immediate opponent and expressed confidence in his ability to secure a victory, predicting a second-round finish against Perry. He assured Perry that the fight would not be prolonged, stating, “You’re not in for much, it’s actually going to be an easy night for you.”
The ongoing drama surrounding these fights underscores the intense anticipation and preparation involved in professional boxing, with Paul determined to make a statement in both upcoming matches.
