Jake Paul Set to Box 32-Year-Old BKFC King Mike Perry Instead of 57-Year-Old Mike Tyson

In a surprising turn of events, Jake Paul is reportedly set to face off against Mike Perry in the ring on July 20th, according to sources close to the YouTuber-turned-boxer. This news comes after Paul’s highly anticipated bout with Mike Tyson was postponed due to Tyson’s medical emergency during a cross-country flight on May 26th.

The fight against Perry, a 32-year-old boxer, is said to be a precursor to Paul’s rescheduled match against Tyson, which is now slated for November 15th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano has also been moved to the same date and venue, making it a blockbuster night for combat sports enthusiasts.

Tyson, who recently celebrated his 57th birthday, expressed his determination to face Paul, stating, “Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. Jake Paul is getting knocked out. On Friday, November 15, watch this in-person at AT&T Stadium or live on Netflix.”

The fight, originally scheduled for July 20th, will be the latest sporting event for Netflix, as the streaming giant continues to expand its presence in the world of live sports. While Paul has yet to confirm the news of his fight against Perry, his representatives have been contacted for comment.

Despite the rescheduling and the addition of a new opponent, the anticipation surrounding Paul’s clash with Tyson remains high. Some commentators, however, have expressed skepticism about whether the fight will ever take place, citing Tyson’s age and recent health issues as potential roadblocks.

Regardless of the outcome, the upcoming events promise to be a spectacle for combat sports fans worldwide, with some of the biggest names in boxing and mixed martial arts taking center stage.
