Instead of getting Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson with your Netflix subscription this summer, ‘The Problem Child’ wants you to shell out an extra $64.99 to see him throw hands with BKFC’s ‘King of Violence.’

After his fight with Tyson was pushed back to November due to an ulcer flare-up suffered by the 57-year-old former champion, Paul booked a bout with ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry for July 20 in Tampa. With the event airing exclusively on DAZN pay-per-view, fans knew they were going to have to spend some of their hard-earned coin to watch it.

Unfortunately, it also looks like it’ll cost you more than any other Paul fight before it.

Previously, the YouTuber’s fights with Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and a slew of others ran you a cool $59.95. This time, it’ll be an extra $5 to get your fix.

At least it’s still cheaper than the Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masivdal boxing match.

“I’m on a tear,” Paul said on The MMA Hour. “I’m not slowing down for anybody. If people want to delay fights, I’ve got to get my experience in the ring. I love fighting. I love going under the bright lights and I love putting on shows for the fans and I will become champion but to do that, I need experience. Mike Tyson is an absolute killer and I do want to face another absolute killer.”

Jake Paul ready to welcome Mike Perry to the world of boxing

Jake Paul is 9-1 in his professional boxing career with a majority of his victories coming against ex-MMA stars. In his last two outings, he did test his skills against a couple of “legit” boxers, though Andre August and Ryan Bourland were far from household names.

Still, ‘The Problem Child’ padded his record with a couple of highlight-reel knockouts in the opening round, giving him more fuel to fire back at the haters.

His only loss came via a split decision against Tommy Fury, the younger brother of former WBO heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury.

As for Mike Perry, the UFC standout-turned-BKFC brawler has become the biggest draw under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship banner, going a perfect 5-0 in his first five appearances, including wins over Michael ‘Venom’ Page, Luke Rockhold, Eddie Alvarez, and Thiago Alves.

The fight against Jake Paul will be his first professional boxing bout.

With ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson out of his July 20 return to the ring, Jake Paul has found himself another Mike to throw hands with.

As announced by both ‘The Problem Child’ and his Most Valuable Promotions, Paul will square off with former UFC standout and the BKFC’s current ‘King of Violence’ Mike Perry. The bout will go down on the same date that Paul was originally scheduled to square off with Tyson.

1 Mike, 2 Mikes, 3 Mikes, 4,” Paul wrote on X alongside the announcement. “The fact is every opponent has touched the floor. 5 months until Tyson and I go to war. So in the meantime me & Perry are going to make Tampa roar. I fear no man, anytime, anywhere, anyplace. On July 20th it’s going to be another W, so let us say grace. For the BKFC champ, who will take a knee. Then we will go to Ireland and take McGregor’s equity.

According to Ariel Helwani, the bout will be an eight-round clash at cruiserweight emanating from Amalie Arena, in Tampa, Florida. The event will air live via DAZN pay-per-view.

Mike Perry makes pro boxing debut against Jake Paul

After a middling stint under the UFC banner, ‘Platinum’ made the move to bare-knuckle boxing, debuting at BKFC’s second-annual KnuckleMania event in 2022. There, he defeated Julian ‘Let Me Bang Bro’ Lane. Since then, Perry has shared the squared circle with a slew of top names from the world of MMA, including Michael ‘Venom’ Page, Luke Rockhold, Eddie Alvarez, and Thiago Alves, finishing the last three in no later than the second round.

The fight will serve as Perry’s professional boxing debut.

‘The Problem Child’ will be making his 11th walk to the ring, going 9-1 in his pro boxing career. A majority of his victories have come against ex-MMA stars including Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz. He also holds a couple of first-round knockouts against no-name boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland.

His lone loss came against Tommy Fury, the younger brother of former WBO heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury.

Originally, Jake Paul was set to fight Mike Tyson on July 20, but ‘Iron’ was forced to withdraw from the date after experiencing a medical emergency during a cross-country flight from Miami in May. Fortunately, the incident was chalked up to an ulcer flare-up and nothing overly serious. Tyson was forced to stop training but will resume activities in the coming weeks.

Paul vs. Tyson has already been rescheduled for November 15 and will still go down inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

In addition to Paul vs. Perry, two more bouts were announced, including the return of unified featherweight women’s world champion, Amanda Serrano.

UFC star Sean Strickland again rips ‘Criminal’ fighter pay in online tirade: ‘The pay is utter garbage’

Mike Perry has responded to former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland saying BKFC doesn’t pay their fighters well.

Since BKFC was created, they have attracted several big-name fighters to sign there and many have spoken about how they are getting paid well. But, Strickland recently came out and said that was not true and he thinks guys are only making a couple thousand dollars.

“How much would I f—king fight bare knuckle for?” Sean Strickland said at a recent press conference. “Not nothing they would pay me. They’re paying their guys s—t. F—king breaking their hands, breaking their orbitals, making like a couple thousand bucks.”

Sean Strickland rips Octagon execs over fighter pay ahead of UFC 302 they don't do the right things

Eddie Alvarez also disagreed with Strickland’s comments, but Mike Perry says that is not the case. Instead, he says he is getting paid a hefty amount.

“Strickland, he’s fighting for the UFC for pesos, and I’m getting paid over here. He’s always posting videos on Instagram where he walks outside of his garage or his front door, and somebody is in his driveway and he’s trying to fight a bare-knuckle for free right there. What are you talking about Sean?,” Perry said on his Overdogs podcast.

Perry no doubt is getting paid well by BKFC, but Strickland thinks the lower-level fighters are barely making any money.

Sean Strickland also says UFC pay is utter garbage

Although Sean Strickland criticized BKFC’s pay, he also took aim at the UFC pay as well.

Strickland knows pay in MMA could always be better and he thinks the starting salary for UFC fighters is not good. So, the hope for Strickland is pay in all combat sports will improve.

“UFC pay is utter garbage lol their signing guys at 10/10 that should be criminal… but the vast majority of BKFC fighters are getting paid way less than that….. As a ufc fighter I advocate for better pay for me and the entire roster…… You should do the same for your guys,” Strickland wrote in the Instagram comment.

“While I’m on my soap box from a poor man who became kinda a rich man once you have capital it just snow balls. These elites could probably never take a paycheck again and easily make 500k a year…. yet they still line their bank accounts with millions that they will never need or spend. In all industries,” Strickland added.

Sean Strickland is coming off a decision win over Paulo Costa at UFC 302 to return to the win column.

Darren Till responds to Mike Perry’s fiery post-fight callout: ‘I am going to destroy this man’

Darren Till is tired of hearing Mike Perry run his mouth.

On Saturday night (April 27), ‘Platinum’ earned his fifth-straight victory under the BKFC banner, scoring a smashing 60-second TKO over former UFC standout Thiago Alves in the KnuckleMania IV main event.

Immediately following the bout, Perry delivered a fiery post-fight promo targeting longtime rival Darren Till.

“Darren Till you fat f*cking b*tch, get your ass over here,” Perry said immediately following his latest win.

Perry’s comments extended into the post-fight press conference, telling Till that he needs to stop chasing gold in MMA and come get a piece of ‘Platinum’ inside the squared circle.

“I think that fight is something a lot of people have wanted for a long time, including me and him, you know, he’s talking big sh*t,” Perry said. “He’s talking his sh*t, but he ain’t doing nothing. I’m talking sh*t and I’m out here doing it. So, get your ass – he say he’s in the gym or whatever and he’s working and he with, you know, Khamzat (Chimaev) is undefeated. But he’s over there in the MMA world chasing that gold.

“I’m better than gold. I am the gold over here, I’m above it. I’m ‘Platinum.’”

It didn’t take long for Till to respond to the callout, promising to “destroy” Perry once the two men finally meet.

“FKN bum. I am going to destroy this man when we finally meet,” Till wrote on his Instagram Stories. “He’s been fighting old slow sh*tty dopes.”

Mike Perry Smashes the competition while Darren till continues to sit on the sidelines

Mike Perry and Darren Till have been on a collision course dating back to their days of competing inside the Octagon.

Recently, ‘Platinum’ claimed that BKFC president David Feldman offered Till $2 million to knuckle up with Perry, but turned down the deal in hopes of securing a traditional boxing match with Perry before taking off the gloves and toeing the line.

Thus far, Perry has run through a who’s who of top-tier talent since signing with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in 2021. Kickstarting his run with a win over Julian ‘Let Me Bang Bro’ Lane, he promptly upped the ante against a slew of MMA stars including Michael ‘Venom’ Page and former UFC champions Luke Rockhold and Eddie Alvarez.

He walked away with a majority decision win over MVP before TKO’ing his last three opponents, including his destructive performance against former BKFC middleweight champion Thiago Alves at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Till has been sitting on the sidelines since December 2022 after exiting the UFC on a 1-5 losing skid.

When it comes to Perry’s next opponent in BKFC, Darren Till undoubtedly makes the most sense, but it seems as though the UK-based star isn’t interested in trading in his gloves for a pair of hand wraps. At least, not yet.

UFC fighter turned BKFC brawler ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry returned to the squared circle on Saturday night gunning for his fifth-straight win in the KnuckleMania IV main event in Los Angeles.

Standing in his way was former BKFC middleweight champion Thiago Alves, making his first appearance with the promotion since his title-winning performance against Ulysses Diaz in 2021.

Perry came out looking to put pressure on Alves early. Offering up a few combinations up against the ropes, Alves attempted to counter, but that only momentarily backed up Perry. Resuming his pursuit, Perry threw a combination punctuated by a nasty left hook that caught Alves clean, sending the former UFC standout to the canvas.

Alves answered the referee’s count, but it was clear that Alves was not all there, prompting Dan Miragliotta to call for the stoppage at the one-minute mark of the opening round.

Official Result: Mike Perry def. Thiago Alves via TKO (left hook) at 1:00 of Round 1.
