Mike Perry, the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship king, has stepped up last-minute to face Jake Paul with strong confidence in his ability to potentially harm the “Problem Child.” Perry, known for staying prepared for any fight opportunity, sees this as a chance to earn well. Previously, Perry was slated as a replacement for the Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis fight but didn’t get to compete. With Mike Tyson’s health emergency causing the cancellation of his fight with Jake Paul, Perry saw this as an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Despite his readiness to inflict damage on Jake Paul, Perry also expressed a desire to ensure Paul remains intact for a potential future fight with Mike Tyson, who might return to action in September. Perry’s confidence stems from his skillset and background as a BKFC champion, emphasizing that he’s not like previous UFC fighters Paul has faced.
In an interview with ESPN MMA, Perry stated, “Whatever it is I’m doing, the only thing I want to ruin is Jake’s face. And you know, I don’t wanna ruin anything for Mike. There’s still gonna be an opportunity. There’s still lots of months ahead and anything can happen within that time. Would I fight Mike Tyson? Yes absolutely. Of course, man, of course! I’m thinking about that, you know, I would definitely do it.”
Perry’s bold statements highlight his readiness for the upcoming fight with Jake Paul and his openness to future opportunities, including potentially facing off against the legendary Mike Tyson.
