‘Platinum’ Mike Perry vows to hurt Jake Paul in potential bare-knuckle fight: ‘Test yourself for real’

Mike Perry wants a fight with Jake Paul, whether it be in the squared circle or on the street.

The former UFC standout turned BKFC brawler is scheduled to knuckle up on April 27 for the promotion’s fourth annual KnuckleMania event in Los Angeles against another ex-UFC fighter, Thiago Alves. Since making his promotional debut two years ago, ‘Platinum’ has dispatched a series of notable names, including recent UFC debutant Michael ‘Venom’ Page and a couple of former champions, Luke Rockhold and Eddie Alvarez.

Speaking with TMZ Sports, Perry was asked who is at the top of his list of potential dream opponents under the BKFC banner. ‘Platinum’ didn’t hesitate to call out Jake Paul, but expressed doubt that ‘The Problem Child’ would have the testicular fortitude to toe the line with him on bare-knuckle boxing’s biggest stage.

“Yes, but he’s not doing bare-knuckle,” Perry said. “But I wouldn’t put it past Jake Paul because he’s been doing stuff that people would say he’s afraid of and things like that. And that’s partly what drew me to bare-knuckle was that so many were worried about it, or afraid of it, and I’m like, ‘It seems real to me.’ So Jake, man, definitely issuing you a challenge: If you get through Mike Tyson, test yourself for real, and let’s have a street fight” (h/t MMA Junkie).

Perry was also critical of Jake Paul’s recent selection of opponents, particularly after scoring a couple of quick first-round KOs against a pair of no-name fighters under his Most Valuable Promotions banner.

“F*ck Jake,” Perry added. “Yeah, he’s got some talent, but I’d like to say I’m beating him as fast as he’s beating these taxi drivers, especially bare-knuckle. I’ll hurt him, and he’ll cry and run away and cower in the corner in the fetal position.”

Paul is currently scheduled for what is expected to be one of the most watched fights in combat sports history when he steps inside the ring for a boxing match with heavyweight legend ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson on July 20. The fight will air live on Netflix at no extra charge for the streaming giant’s 260+ million subscribers.

Jake Paul plans to test power punching of Mike Tyson in July boxing clash: ‘I can’t wait to give him a death stare’

Remaining confident in his ability to drop and stop former world heavyweight boxing champion, Mike Tyson in the pair’s July showdown in Texas, professional puncher, Jake Paul has claimed his chin will withstand any strikes the New Yorker has on offer for him.

Paul, a ten-fight professional veteran, turned in his third consecutive victory earlier this month, turning in a blistering first round TKO stoppage win over the hugely overmatched, Ryan Bourland in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

And prior to that, Paul had taken out professional boxer, Andre August with a one-punch first round KO – after a decision win over former UFC lightweight title challenger, Nate Diaz back in August of last year, with the mixed martial arts star making his professional boxing debut – ahead of a summer return against Jorge Masvidal.

Jake Paul confident of withstanding Mike Tyson’s power

Himself drawing revered knockout pugilist, Tyson on July 20. in Arlington, Texas – in what is currently targeted to be an officially sanctioned professional boxing match, Ohio native, Paul claims his chin is “iron” and will be more than capable of holding up against the former world champion’s shuddering power.

“I want to see how hard he (Mike Tyson) hits,” Jake Paul said on his show B/S with Jake Paul. “Mike, I really want to see, bro. Let’s see all the legends, the myths, because you’re ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson – but I have an iron chin. People know that, I take shots.”

“So I think people are understanding that me being able to deal with his power, and this is something this is going to make it interesting,” Jake Paul explained. “I’m excited, I literally can’t wait to look across the ring and see him and give him a f*cking death stare.”

Who wins in Texas in July: Mike Tyson or Jake Paul?

Jake Paul reacts to ‘old-head’ Conor McGregor’s comments on Mike Tyson fight: ‘There’s no reason to be jealous’

Jake Paul didn’t appreciate Conor McGregor’s take on his upcoming clash with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.

On Saturday, July 20, ‘The Problem Child’ will look to score his 10th career win in the boxing ring when he meets former unified heavyweight world champion and “the baddest man on the planet” inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. With the bout scheduled to be broadcast live on Netflix to over 260 million active subscribers, Paul is confident that the fight will be among the most watched in combat sports history.

However, not everyone feels that way. During an interview at SXSW, the Irishman said: ”It’s a bit strange, you know. My interest is low. I don’t know. I don’t understand it.”

Reacting to McGregor’s lack of interest during a recent episode of his BS w/ Jake Paul podcast, the YouTuber-turned-boxer slammed the UFC megastar with some flimsy numbers comparing interest in his fight with Tyson versus McGregor’s last fight against Dustin Poirier in July 2021.

“So, Conor, you’re saying that interest’s low for the fight but the last fight you announced, there was a thousand articles written in a multiple-day span . . . you know people talking about your last fight. In that same multiple-day span, there was ten thousand articles written about this (Tyson vs. Paul). So this is in my mind, this is the biggest fight the world will ever see.

“There’s no reason to be jealous. I get that people are jealous, but when the old-heads like Conor are still trying to hate… Why are you trying to pull people [down]? Your ego is that [big]?”

Jake Paul Confident His Fight with Tyson will outdo McGregor’s clash with ‘Money’

Jake Paul was also adamant that his fight with ‘Iron’ would be significantly more viewed than McGregor’s iconic clash with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather in 2017.

“It’ll be more viewed, 1000%. Obviously, it’ll be free so we can’t compare pay-per-view numbers, but a lot of people in this sport are b*tches. That’s what I’ve come to find out. They don’t actually want to fight.

Considering Paul vs. Tyson will be available to every Netflix subscriber in the world for no additional charge, July’s fight will likely earn far more views than McGregor’s lone appearance in the squared circle. Unfortunately, we’ll likely never know the true numbers as Netflix rarely releases its streaming data.

Dana White rips Jake Paul for booking boxing match with Mike Tyson: ‘He’s gonna fight Clint Eastwood next’

UFC CEO Dana White has never been a fan of Jake Paul, so it isn’t a surprise that he isn’t pleased with the YouTuber-turned-boxer facing Mike Tyson next.

Paul and Tyson are set to box on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The fight caught many by surprise due to the age discrepancy between the two, which White is not a fan of. He also says he is good friends with Tyson but even White can’t get into the fight due to Tyson being 58 when the bout happens.

Dana White is NOT a fan of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson:

“I love Mike… but when the fight happens he’s gonna be 58 years old. It’ll be a 31 year age difference.

“I love Mike and I hate talking about it because he always gets mad when I talk about this stuff, but when the fight happens he will be 58-years-old. There will be a 31-year age difference, Jake Paul did fight a kid his age and lost. I just saw this thing on the internet yesterday, if he beats Mike Tyson, he’s gonna fight Clint Eastwood next, Clint Eastwood is 93 years old,” White said on The Pound 4 Pound podcast.

White also thinks Paul is only boxing Tyson due to the fact the YouTuber-turned-boxer can’t sell fights himself unless he is fighting someone with a name.

“He doesn’t, what Jake wants is Jake wants to make money. The people that follow Jake Paul don’t buy Jake Paul’s fight, so Jake Paul has to fight people who can actually sell pay-per-views,” White added.

Dana White’s long feud with Jake Paul

It shouldn’t be a surprise to see Dana White criticize Jake Paul as the two have had a long-reigning feud.

Since Paul has gotten into combat sports, he has taken shots at White for not paying his fighters enough money. Paul has also boxed a couple of former UFC fighters and has beaten them, which likely adds to White’s feud with Paul.

But, White isn’t the only person who has complained about Paul boxing soon-to-be 58-year-old Mike Tyson.

Ex-UFC fighter says Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson has to be a pro fight, otherwise, there’s no point: ‘Why waste our time?’

Unless Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are going to try and take each others’ heads off, former UFC standout Brendan Schaub doesn’t see the point.

On Saturday, July 20, Tyson will return to the ring for a clash with ‘The Problem Child’ inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Aside from the date and location, we have very few details regarding the contest — in particular, whether this will be an exhibition match or a full-on professional fight.

Recently, heavyweight boxing star Derek Chisora suggested that the bout will be contested with both fighters using headgear and 18-ounce gloves. However, Paul was quick to quell that rumor. Still, with little information to go off of, pundits are keen to remain skeptical about what could potentially be the most-watched fight in combat sports history.

“My only thing is, what kind of shenanigans are going on behind the scenes between [Tyson] and Jake?” Schaub said during a recent episode of The Fighter and The Kid podcast with Bryan Callen. “What’s the agreement? Because with Roy Jones we found out the agreement after was no headshots. Only to the body. Just do it in your gym and put it on YouTube. Don’t force me to pay if you’re going to do that bullsh*t. Don’t market it as a legit fight.”

He added, “If it comes out that the fight is with headgear and 18-ounce gloves, why waste our time? Netflix is going to be furious.”

Schaub Expects Jake Paul to Beat Mike Tyson in a ‘Legit fight’

If their clash in The Lone Star State is licensed as a pro bout, it will be the first of Mike Tyson’s career since a 2005 loss to Kevin McBride. The ‘baddest man on the planet‘ returned to the ring in November 2020 against Roy Jones Jr, but the contest was dubbed an exhibition with no real danger and no winner after going the full eight rounds.

“If it’s a legit fight, Jake should beat him, but again, I’m not betting on this fight because I don’t know the shenanigans going on,” Schaub continued. “Boxing has so many shenanigans. That’s what’s wrong with the sport. It’s corrupt as sh*t.”

Instead of airing on traditional pay-per-view, Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul will air live on Netflix, making it the first time the media giant has broadcast a combat sports event to its 260+ million subscribers.
