Jake Paul Faces Uncertainty Over Mike Tyson Fight Following Latest Postponement
Jake Paul’s anticipated bout against boxing legend Mike Tyson faces uncertainty after Tyson withdrew due to health issues earlier this year. Originally scheduled for this weekend in Texas, the fight has been rescheduled for November 15. Meanwhile, Paul is set to face former UFC star Mike Perry in Florida this weekend.
Perry, known for his success in bare-knuckle boxing, is determined to derail Paul’s plans for a return to the ring against Tyson. “That’s not happening,” Perry asserted during a face-off with Paul ahead of their upcoming bout. Paul, undeterred, emphasized his commitment to staying active and pursuing his goal of becoming a world champion. “I take big risks. I want to stay active. This fight with Perry is a Mike appetiser,” Paul remarked.
Having recently scored first-round knockouts in his last two fights, Paul expressed confidence in his upcoming match against Perry, predicting a second-round finish. “You’re not in for much, it’s going to be an easy night for you,” Paul confidently stated to Perry.
In response, Perry reminded Paul of his own impressive record in bare-knuckle boxing, notably stopping Thiago Alves in just 40 seconds in his last fight. “My last fight was 40 seconds. Nobody had put down Thiago before,” Perry emphasized, highlighting his swift and dominant victory.
The uncertainty surrounding Paul’s bout with Tyson adds intrigue to his current focus on Perry, as fans and analysts speculate on the outcome and future matchups in Paul’s boxing career.
