Jake Paul and Mike Perry finally clashed in the boxing ring on July 20 in Tampa, Florida. MMA News has the results and highlights here!

Boxing fans witnessed another dominant performance from Paul as he stepped back into the ring to take on Perry, the leading star in bare-knuckle boxing. The event occurred at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Paul was initially set to face Mike Tyson, but the fight was postponed due to the heavyweight legend’s illness. “Platinum” Perry came in on a month’s notice in an attempt to stun the boxing world by defeating the polarizing ex-Disney star and getting the biggest win of his combat sports career to date. However, Paul proved to be too much for his opponent to handle.

“The Problem Child” controlled the fight with his jab and an overhand right to stun Perry several times. Although the bare-knuckle champion showcased incredible toughness, Paul achieved a TKO victory in the sixth round. After the fight, Paul shared that he plans to knock out Tyson later this year and wants to fight UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira in boxing.

Elsewhere on the card, former UFC middleweight Uriah Hall faced Julio César Chávez Jr. in a cruiserweight contest to kick off the main card. The fight went the distance, with judges believing that Chávez Jr. did enough to win by unanimous decision.

The inaugural PFL MENA season continues on Friday, and MMA News has you covered with all the action!

Having broken onto the scene with its unique regular season and playoff format in North America, the Professional Fighters League (PFL) has begun its pursuit of further prominence around the globe.

In 2023, that took sizable step forward with the maiden PFL Europe season. And this year, the promotion continues to grow with its latest regional expansion, PFL MENA (Middle East and North Africa).

Like the inaugural card on May 10, today’s event goes from from The Green Halls in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In the main event, the host nation’s own Mostafa Rashed Neda will take to the cage looking to build on his showcase performance on the PFL 9: 2023 Playoffs card last August.

To extend his winning run to four, the MMA Jeddah Club standout is tasked with getting the better of former OKTAGON athlete Abdel Rahmane Driai. Algeria’s “Silverback” has won two straight since falling short against current UFC fighter Robert Bryczek.

Elsewhere on the lineup, PFL veteran Jarrah Al-Silawi will return to the SmartCage after snapping his losing skid with a victory under the Brave CF banner last December, while highly touted women’s amateur Hattan Alsaif will look to build on her memorable head kick KO from PFL MENA 1 this past May when she competes in front of her home fans again.

While today’s event is being broadcast on DAZN for select countries, it is unfortunately not available to audiences in the United States. However, MMA News has you covered below with the live results and highlights below, commencing at 11 AM ET.
