Mike Perry is gearing up to face Jake Paul in a boxing match next weekend, having stepped in to replace Mike Tyson after the heavyweight legend’s fight with Paul was postponed to November due to health issues. Perry aims to secure a significant payday in Florida and has ambitious financial goals, including purchasing a yacht akin to Conor McGregor’s.
In an interview with Morning Kombat, Perry mentioned his surprise that his fight contract doesn’t include a rematch clause. Confident in his abilities, Perry stated, “When I beat him, he can ask for a rematch if he wants it.” He expressed a nonchalant attitude about Paul’s future plans, emphasizing his focus on enjoying the fruits of his labor with his family after the fight.
However, Perry acknowledged that while the upcoming fight represents a major financial opportunity, it might not yet be enough to afford the luxurious lifestyle he envisions, including a mansion with a yacht like McGregor’s famous Lamborghini yacht.
Paul, on the other hand, has expressed interest in a potential rematch with Perry, but this time in MMA. He discussed his desire to transition to mixed martial arts and believes his wrestling background would make him a formidable opponent. However, Perry seemed less enthusiastic about an MMA rematch, suggesting a preference for a bare-knuckle fight instead, where he feels his grappling skills could prove advantageous.
The dynamic between Perry and Paul continues to intrigue fans, with both fighters eyeing different paths for future matchups beyond their upcoming boxing bout.
