Mike Perry has claimed that he had tougher sparring with YouTube celebrity, Jake Paul, than he did with the former UFC welterweight title challenger, Darren Till.
‘Platinum’ was in Miami as Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul got fight week got into full swing. During the festivities it was announced that Jake Paul’s fourth boxing bout would come against Tyron Woodley on August 28.
Perry previously warned Dana White and Paul’s last opponent, Ben Askren, that they were in trouble after sparring the former Disney actor during his preparations for the April 17 bout.
Speaking to The Mac Life earlier this week, Perry insisted that sparring Paul was tougher than his infamous “spa” with the Englishman, Darren Till.
“Jake Paul was a better spar than Till,” Perry said. “That was an awkward situation with the gloves and shit. Yeah, definitely though.”
“Making you think he’s gonna engage then doesn’t,” Perry said about Paul’s strengths as a boxer. “He’s got long reach, he’s got different tricks, he taught me something. First round he started doing something and I was like ‘okay’ … it wasn’t doing damage, but it was like keeping him at bay.” (Transcribed by MMA Mania)

Youtuber turned Boxer Jake Paul is lashing out once again at UFC president Dana White over UFC fighter pay, an issue that has picked up in conversation over the past year.
Paul is scheduled to face former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley, in a boxing match on August 28th, with the event being hosted by Showtime. During his brief promotional tour in Miami, Paul took aim at White and brought the issue back to life.
“There’s a movement moving forward that is going to show that fighters should be getting paid more. It’s unfair,” Paul said. “The UFC fighters don’t have fair pay. Out of all the sports, the percentage that the owners get versus the athlete, they’re the lowest. Chris Weidman goes in, snaps his leg in half, what’s that look like? He may never be able to fight again and provide for his family. These fighters are risking their lives. So fuck that shit. Fuck Dana White.”
The fighter pay issue in the UFC is still a substantial issue, with fighters like Jorge Masvidal, Jon Jones, and Conor McGregor weighing in. Masvidal in particular brought the issue of fighter pay to the forefront during the prologue to his first fight with Kamaru Usman, which was a short-notice bout that Usman won by unanimous decision at UFC 251.
Jones has been at odds with the UFC stemming from his intentions to make the move up to heavyweight, after a long tenure as the UFC light heavyweight champion. Jones and White have been unable to come to terms on a potential bout after it was widely expected that he would face Francis Ngannou for the heavyweight title later this summer, but those plans have fallen apart due to a lapse in negotiations.
