While the worlds of professional fighting and bodybuilding may seem overlapping to a person who is a stranger to sports, both worlds cannot be more different from each other. The only common thing between a fighter and a lifter is muscles. But one has to keep in mind that muscles do not necessarily win a fight. However, Bradley Martyn seems to think the contrary, as he believes he has what it takes to knock out even professional UFC fighters who do this for a living.
After many claims that Martyn has made over the internet as a professional boxer and social media personality, Jake Paul recently challenged Martyn to take a fight against former middleweight UFC star Mike Perry. Paul even offered a hefty paycheck of $1 million to whoever wins the bout. After a fellow fitness influencer, Kenny KO, shared an Instagram reel on the subject, the bodybuilding and lifting community expressed their surprise at the recent turn of events.

Jake Paul is making a name for himself in the boxing world with his profile bouts against fellow YouTubers and even UFC fighters. Being in the industry himself, Paul knows what it takes to beat a professional. He recently issued a challenge involving Bradley in a street fight against Mike Perry, who is the unofficial king of bare-knuckle boxing since signing with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in 2022. Paul conveyed a simple message: “Man up or shut up.” While a million dollars is a huge figure for sure, Kenny KO pointed out that one should still think twice about the consequences before stepping in for a fight against MMA fighters.

Kenny stated, “Brad has to think, at the end of the day, would a million dollars be worth getting knocked out by a dude 100 pounds less than you? If you’re going to challenge some MMA UFC fighters and whatnot, you better be able to fight.”
Kenny’s video gathered strong views from the bodybuilding community in his recent post. Most fans expressed disbelief over Bradley’s claims, while many pointed out how disastrous this could prove to him.

One of the users drew comparisons between the fight between Perry and Luke Rockhold. From the fight’s result, he speculates, “Brad at 260lbs without elite skills would be bullied by Mike,” while another viewer commented, “Man, I’m tired of these low-level influencers trying to money grab with these boxing fights.” Another hilarious comment from a fan read, “I’m getting knocked out by anyone for a million clams.”
Another user pointed out by stating, “Muscle is only a hindrance in fighting, easy to gas out, hard to move, and if you don’t have good form, that weight is irrelevant,” while one fan was not so enthusiastic about his win, penned, “Hes getting knocked the f out.”
