Fans opine to Mike Perry’s interest in going against Jake Paul
Perry revealed that he still wished to fight ‘The Problem Child’. However, whether the war between the two will ever happen is nothing close to being a surety. Furthermore, he believed that it would be an interesting match to see. Perry said, “I sparred him once, and I think it would be a great boxing match. I can’t lie, I’m a bare knuckle boxer, and I like to punch without anything, but with the gloves on I feel like I hit harder, and i think it would be interesting to see what I could do.”

Without a doubt, the fans took to the comments section and revealed what they thought about Perry’s words. Undeniably, many of the fans believed that the bare-knuckle boxer was a perfect match for Paul. Furthermore, some of the fans pointed out how difficult it would be for Paul to stand against someone who defeated MVP. Nonetheless, almost everyone agreed that the fight would be an interesting one indeed.
Here is what fans had to say:
- Finally someone who isn’t shy to punch
- this would be about the most realistic fight for jake paul in mma, perry would also market it well.
- He should sign with pfl and be jakes first mma fight
- Mike looking healthy good for him.
- This would be an interesting match
- Hope he gets the fight
- Jake wouldn’t do bare knuckle, maybe since he’s going to MMA he’d be interested in adopting the custom rule set that Perry vs Seals had which allowed for lighter gloves, more clinches, and spinning back fists etc
- yeah Jake wouldn’t market a boxing match thst he plans on doin if then wouldn’t let me
- This is a guy who beat MVP in Bare Knuckle… risky for Jake
- Jake ain’t going to fight Perry especially since Perry beat MVP
Mike Perry revealed Jake Paul’s withdrawal
The middleweight bare-knuckle boxer took to Twitter to share his displeasure as Paul turned his back on the negotiations. Perry wrote, “I signed the contract to fight @jakepaul but he changed his mind.” The 31-year-old was the probable opponent for Paul to fight next. However, given the current situation, there are no confirmations of whether the fight will happen or not.
