Jake Paul and Mike Perry are gearing up for a fight on July 20 and didn’t hold back in a recent video conference on The MMA Hour. The scheduled match will consist of eight rounds at cruiserweight, with Perry wearing 10-ounce gloves to spar against Paul, who has been excelling in bare-knuckle fighting at BKFC. Despite Perry’s background in bare-knuckle and MMA, he is seen as the underdog for this battle.
Perry is eager to face Paul’s challenge, saying, “I like getting punched in my face.” In contrast, Paul believes his skill at avoiding punches sets him apart as a fighter and he plans to impart that knowledge to Perry during the match. The upcoming bout stems from a prior sparring encounter between Paul and Perry. Paul claims he outperformed Perry in that session and is confident of repeating his success in their upcoming official fight. Perry has a different recollection of their past sparring session and aims to showcase his fighting prowess in this match.
Despite their verbal exchanges, both fighters are self-assured about their capabilities to emerge victorious on July 20. Paul is focused on honing his skills in the ring, while Perry is determined to challenge Paul’s authenticity as a boxer. The anticipation is high as the two contenders gear up to settle their rivalry in the boxing arena.
