Jake Paul has a backup plan should Tommy Fury pull out of their upcoming clash on February 26, 2023, and that backup plans name is Mike Perry, former UFC star and current BKFC talent.
Paul announced the following in regards to his potential late replacement at the Beterbiev vs Yarde press conference:
“We have Mike Perry on standby. Let’s go, Mike Perry. He’s ready to jump in in case Tommy pulls out.”
Paul hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to opponents making the walk, as Fury has withdrawn from both previous bookings against him, and he also lost his fight with Hasim Rahman Jr last year.
Paul was slated to fight Fury in both 2021 and 2022.
The second time Fury pulled out Paul ended up fighting former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in their immediate rematch, and he was slated to face Rahman in August of last year, but ended up facing former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva a couple months later in October instead.
Both the Woodley rematch and Silva fights went well for him; his second fight with Woodley was relatively boring, but he was able to KO Woodley stiff this time, as the first time he won a split decision, and his fight with Silva was surprisingly an incredible back-and-forth war he won via unanimous decision.
But, events have been cancelled due to his opponents withdrawing from their scheduled bouts more than once, and this time he wants a backup so that doesn’t happen again.
Mike Perry is a great name for that second choice.
To fans, either Perry or Nate Diaz makes the most sense, and honestly, we thought we were past this point of Paul vs Fury.
However, Paul wants a boxer on his resume. He’s defeated three MMA world champions across four fights, Ben Askren (KO), Tyron Woodley twice (SD, KO), and Anderson Silva (UD), but the criticism seemingly never ends, as fans and combat athletes are always trashing his name for not fighting real boxers.
Well, he’s tried to, more than once. Fury is 8-0 as a professional boxer, and Rahman, a heavyweight mind you, was 12-1 as a professional.
Mike Perry opened up his MMA career with a record of 11-1 through his first 12 fights, all 11 wins via knockout.
Since then, he’d gone 3-7, bringing his record to 14-8.
However, though he’s 0-1 as a professional boxer, a fight that went down in 2015, since leaving the UFC, Perry has gone 3-0 in boxing matches. Two of which were bare knuckle bouts, and the other of which he defeated a 25-3 professional boxer where both men were wearing MMA gloves.

UFC welterweight alum turned bare knuckle fighter, Mike Perry has revealed he is confident of securing a professional boxing return against the undefeated YouTuber, Jake Paul – as soon as February, insisting he is ready to fight as soon as this weekend.
Perry, a former welterweight contender under the banner of the UFC, ended his tenure with the Dana White-led organization back in April 2021 at UFC on ABC 2 against Daniel Rodriguez, suffering a unanimous decision loss. Perry made the Octagon walk on 15 separate occasions.
A native of Flint, Michigan, Perry has since turned his hand to bare knuckle fighting under the banner of the BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) where he’s landed an impressive 2-0 record so far.
Debuting with a unanimous decision victory over The Ultimate Fighter veteran, Julian Lane back in February of last year, before headlining an event in London, England against renowned striker and former Bellator MMA welterweight title challenger, Michael Page, landing a majority decision win at BKFC 27.
In the time since, Perry, who initially called for a fight with Paul off the back of his win over London Shootfighters staple, Page, has revealed he had received an offer to fight the Ohio native. And he remains certainly confident of landing the clash – as soon as February, in fact.
“I believe it was for mid-February,” Mike Perry said of a fight with Jake Paul during an interview with MMA Fighting. “I don’t know what I can and can’t say, [because] I want it to happen, but there was supposed to be a really cool location and that intrigued me.”
“I think it happens,” Mike Perry explained. “If it is mid-February, I’ll be ready. I’m ready this weekend. I’m going to keep working, road work, lift some weights, eat healthy, just keep feeding myself and stay hungry. That’s me. That’s what I do.”
Revealing he had previously sparred with the undefeated, Paul, Perry believes the duo could turn in an impressive boxing match in the future if the rumored clash comes to fruition.
“I sparred him (Jake Paul) once, and I think it would be a great boxing match,” Mike Perry said. “I can’t lie, I’m a bare knuckle boxer, and I like to punch without anything, but with the gloves on I feel like I hit harder, and I think it would be interesting to see what I could do.”
Former UFC welterweight, Mike Perry shared images of a supposed contract offered to him by Jake Paul.

Former UFC welterweight, Mike Perry shared images of a supposed contract offered to him by Jake Paul.
Paul, who last fought Anderson Silva, winning in an impressive display, is seemingly never far from being called out by some of combat sports’ most notable names.
Perry would take to Twitter to share screenshots of an alleged contract, claiming he had signed it but Paul had backed out.
Perry would also claim that Paul backed out of the fight after changing his mind:
I signed a contract to fight @jakepaul but he changed his mind
— Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) January 3, 2023
Since his departure from the UFC, Perry has enjoyed a successful transition into boxing, both gloved and bare-knuckle. Perry first took on 27-3 professional boxer Mike Seals, who shared the ring with the likes of Edwin Rodriguez and Eleider Alvarez during his time as a light-heavyweight.
The bout, which was a mixed rules contest put on by Triller, would be awarded to Perry after seven rounds. Perry would then move on to BKFC, debuting in bare-knuckle and taking on former Ultimate Fighter contestant, Julian Lane. The fight would go as someone would expect a bare-knuckle fight involving Perry to go, producing a bloody, exciting affair in which Perry would drop Lane to earn the judge’s decision.
Perry has found his niche and would be rewarded with one of the biggest bare-knuckle fights in BKFC history. ‘Platinum’ would be matched up with Bellator’s Michael ‘Venom’ Page, in what would be a fight that no one knew they needed.
Perry, who was the underdog heading into the bout, would again put on a show and take his post-UFC career to 3-0 following another entertaining contest.
