Jake Paul has expressed his desire to take on Mike Perry in an MMA fight under the PFL (Professional Fighters League) banner following their upcoming boxing match on July 20th in Florida.

Originally, Paul was set to fight the legendary Mike Tyson, but due to Tyson’s medical issues, Mike Perry stepped in on short notice. The match against Perry represents a significant opportunity for the BKFC star, who has shown interest in returning to MMA if he secures a victory over Paul.

In a recent interview with DAZN Boxing, Paul revealed his interest in transitioning from boxing to MMA, particularly within the PFL. The YouTuber-turned-boxer, who has a background in high school wrestling, expressed confidence in his abilities inside the cage.

“I’m down, when I beat Mike Perry in boxing, f*ck it. We can run it in MMA,” Paul stated. “I want an MMA fight, I mean, the [PFL] smart cage is literally right there. Once I start in MMA, my wrestling background is going to come out, and I think I’ll be a very dangerous MMA fighter as well.”

Reacting to Paul’s comments, Mike Perry was skeptical about the YouTuber’s willingness to step into the MMA cage. Perry challenged Paul to consider a bare-knuckle boxing match instead, highlighting the complexities of wrestling and jiu-jitsu.

“Cap! Why not bare-knuckle? Why not box bare-knuckle? I’ll take your back, jiu-jitsu is not something that just, wrestling and jiu-jitsu that’s not something you just keep in your back pocket,” Perry responded.

The idea of Paul and Perry facing off in both boxing and MMA has intrigued fans and analysts alike. Paul’s confidence in his wrestling skills and his desire to prove himself in MMA adds an exciting dimension to his combat sports career. Meanwhile, Perry’s experience and resilience in both boxing and MMA make him a formidable opponent.

As the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Perry approaches, the prospect of a future MMA fight between the two fighters adds an extra layer of anticipation. Whether or not Paul can transition successfully from boxing to MMA remains to be seen, but his ambition and confidence are unmistakable.
