Jake Paul’s boxing career has recently garnered significant attention in the media. Originally scheduled to fight Mike Tyson in July, the bout was postponed to November due to Tyson’s illness. Instead, on the original July 20 date, Paul will face Mike Perry in an eight-round cruiserweight match at Amalie Arena in Tampa. The event, titled “Fear No Man,” will be available on DAZN pay-per-view.

Paul, a Westlake native, holds a record of 9-1 with 6 knockouts. His opponent, Mike Perry, is a seasoned bare-knuckle boxer and MMA star with a record of 5-0, including 3 knockouts in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).

Initially, oddsmakers favored Paul at -190 and Perry as a +160 underdog. However, following a surge of bets favoring Paul, the odds shifted to Paul at -240 and Perry at +190 by Friday, according to SportsBetting.ag and BetOnline.ag. FanDuel opened with Paul at -250 and Perry at +200.

The outcome of this fight will influence future betting odds for Paul’s upcoming bout against Mike Tyson on November 15, contingent on both Paul’s performance against Perry and updates on Tyson’s health.
