Mike Perry is the the most recent MMA fighter that wants to take his talents to the boxing ring in a match vs Tommy Fury.

After watching Fury’s underwhelming match against Anthony Taylor, Perry took to Twitter to say he wanted to fight Fury. Perry has been a fan favorite in the UFC for his antics which include, having his corner-person be his girlfriend and many other things.

Perry has gone through a rough patch in his UFC career after losing four of his last five matches. This has brought his career record to 7-8 in the promotion. Perry had also touched on the ongoing MMA fighter vs Boxer that has been taking over the combat sport imagination.

Although he has been through his ups and downs in his UFC career, Perry has been one of the most interesting fighters and always puts on a show when he’s inside the octagon. ‘Platinum’ had recently been sparring with the newly retired boxer, ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul.

Fury is just getting started in his young boxing career. He is now 7-0, in his early part of his career, but still has much work to do. It seemed fighting a smaller fighter was challenging for Fury and something he must work on in the future. After his win against Taylor, Fury called out Jake Paul.

Perry is the latest MMA fighter that looks to challenge himself in the boxing ring like so many other MMA fighters. We see the return of Vitor Belfort in September against Oscar De La Hoya soon. Viewers will also see two legends of the MMA game go head to head in a boxing match this year when Anderson Silva fights Tito Ortiz.

Jake Paul

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury had an altercation backstage following the Tyron Woodley fight.

Earlier tonight (Aug. 29), Paul and Woodley went one-on-one in Cleveland, Ohio. The two went the distance in their eight-round pro boxing match. Paul won the fight via unanimous decision.

The Paul vs. Woodley PPV card opened up with a bout between Tommy Fury and Anthony Taylor. Fury won the bout via unanimous decision. Paul and Fury have been trading barbs over the past few months.

Paul and Fury had a run-in backstage and you can see the clip below.

Speaking to reporters during the post-fight press conference, Fury said he was close to trading punches with Paul in the heat of the moment.

“I would say pretty close, I’ve not watched it back but I was ready to throw hands then and there. This man’s all [show for the cameras]. Me and my team will go now … he can count his blessings in the hallway really.”

Fury went on to claim that all of Paul’s security team intervened to protect the YouTuber.

“Forty of his security broke it up because the man can’t fight. He can’t fight. Imagine him in a street fight? Please, he won’t last two seconds.”

During his post-fight interview, Paul initially didn’t commit to his next opponent (h/t Mirror).

“I got eight rounds under my belt, who’s doing that in their fourth pro fight? I’ve been boxing for 18 months, I haven’t been to the dentist, my teeth are crooked, my nose is crooked, I need to take some time. I’m only 24-years-old, I need to find out who I am, I’m changing a lot.”

That changed when Woodley said he thought he won the fight and called for a rematch. Jake Paul then said he’d give Woodley the bout as long as he follows through on a tattoo bet.
