Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry—Is this the fight that will finally prove Jake Paul’s legitimacy in boxing?

The legend of Jake Paul continues to grow. Despite the chasm of influencer boxing, he marches ahead on the path of glory and is slowly seeping into the heart of the boxing community. Adding another chapter evoking the feeling of deja vu, he fights Mike Perry this time. Will he easily brush him aside and set the fight with Mike Tyson in motion? Or will his career crumble because of his obsession and running theme with UFC fighters? Surely, not every story ends the same way you expect it to. Maybe Paul’s story is different.

A high-stakes headliner that promises everything but dodging punches awaits you this Saturday. You look at the Paul vs. Perry undercard, and you see a perfect blend of A-listers and hot prospects with a penchant for knockouts. So, the event has every ingredient to seize your attention and keep you on your toes with high-octane action and fireworks. But when and where can you watch it live? Don’t worry; we have you covered.

The mouth-watering event is ready to captivate the fans and usher in a new era of boxing this Saturday, July 20. Why a new era? The event at Amalie Arena, Tampa will set up more important fights later this year. This event will showcase where ‘Problem Child’ and Amanda Serrano stand before they have the fights of their careers towards the end of the year. Paul, 27, in particular, will look to repeat what he did in the 21000 seater stadium in 2018, when he knocked out Tyron Woodley in their rematch and announced himself on the world boxing stage, propelling his career to stardom and burying the questions of credibility as a prizefighter.

When can you witness Paul pull out a splendid performance out of the hat? If you are watching it from American soil, the event will start at 9 p.m. ET. But if you are a fan from the United States, then you can switch on the screen at 2 a.m. BST. And if you are running short on time on a Saturday evening, you can catch the main event action live at 12 a.m. ET. The same timings for the UK fans would be 5 a.m. BST, depending on the outcome of undercard fights. But the more important question is: who is the broadcaster, and how much will it cost?

Jake Paul vs Mike Perry: How to watch? PPV Price

MVP Promotions has continued its long-term association with DAZN to bring this event to its fans and subscribers. Whether you are a subscriber or not, it will cost you USD 64.99. You have to shell out 19.99 GBP to buy the PPV from the UK. But if you want to see Paul, at 9-1, trade blows up close, then the tickets to live action will cost you at least $20, and they go as high as $2500, as listed on Amalie Arena’s website. If you are still hovering and mulling over your decision to buy the fight or not, you can look at the undercard and take the call.

Who is fighting in the ‘Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry’ undercard?

Amanda Serrano vs. Stevie Morgan (super lightweight)

It’s a typical Apollo Creed-Rocky story, with Stevie Morgan leading the food delivery scene in Tampa a couple of years ago. Now she finds herself against arguably the most famous face in female boxing in Serrano and looks to seize headlines, irrespective of the outcome, if she fights her heart out. And ‘Sledgehammer’ has the power and the frame to pull it off too.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Uriah Hall (light heavyweight)

It’s the second and maybe the last hurrah for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who, after struggling outside the ring, wants to jump back into action, still carrying the ambition to become a world champion. Welcoming him back to the squared circle is Uriah Hall, who once shook UFC fans with his clean striking and ability to churn out knockouts. Will the Mexican fighter carry forward the legacy of the Chavez name?

Ashton Sylve vs. Lucas Bahdi (lightweight)

If MVP Promotions has a blue chip investment, it’s Ashton Sylve. He has all the markings of a future boxing star and the promotion continues to groom him to take centre stage soon. Will he brush aside another more experienced and older opponent this time too and continue his surge?
