Mike Perry is set to enter the boxing ring against Jake Paul on July 20, as reported by Justin Barrasso just 16 hours ago.

Jake Paul’s upcoming boxing match on July 20 is still on, but with a significant change in opponent. Originally scheduled to face Mike Tyson, Paul will now face Mike Perry, known as bare knuckle boxing’s “Face of Violence.”

Unlike the grand stages of Netflix or AT&T Stadium, the showdown between Paul and Perry will take place at Amalie Arena in Tampa. This eight-round cruiserweight bout is scheduled to air on DAZN pay-per-view, promising an intense showdown that could serve as a crucial test for Paul ahead of his bout against Tyson.

“I’m stepping into his world to prove myself,” Perry stated confidently, sporting a Tyson t-shirt. “I’ll bring pressure and make him compete.”

Perry, renowned for his dominance in bare knuckle boxing, acknowledges his relative inexperience in traditional boxing, having won his sole boxing bout nine years ago. This detail may fuel skepticism among Paul’s critics who accuse him of selecting opponents strategically.

Perry’s journey through combat sports has been tumultuous, marked by ups and downs in the UFC and a resurgence in bare knuckle boxing. Known for his aggressive style and ability to endure punishment, Perry is eager to test himself against Paul.

“I thrive on getting hit; it makes me feel alive,” Perry remarked. “I can’t wait to face this kid and see what unfolds.”

The stakes are high for Perry, who sees this bout as a pivotal opportunity to rejuvenate his career. His hunger for victory adds an extra layer of intensity to what promises to be a gritty and compelling match.

“Let’s find out who will break first,” Perry challenged. “I’m good at playing that game.”

As the countdown to July 20 begins, all eyes will be on Amalie Arena, anticipating an electrifying clash between two determined fighters.
