Jake Paul has been warned that he is making a significant mistake by facing Mike Perry after his fight with Mike Tyson was postponed. Originally scheduled to fight the heavyweight legend Tyson on July 20, the bout has been pushed back to November 15 after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight last month, forcing him to pull out upon doctor’s advice.
To stay active before his rescheduled fight against Tyson, Paul is expected to fight on July 20 against Perry, a former UFC fighter turned bare-knuckle boxing star. However, UFC legend Michael Bisping believes Paul has bitten off more than he can chew by agreeing to this match on short notice.
“I say that he has made a big mistake here,” Bisping commented on his YouTube channel. “The reason that he called out Tommy Fury is because he is a YouTube star and he has the name Fury. He thought he could beat him. He didn’t beat him, so he went back to people like Nate Diaz. When you’re talking about Mike Perry, he is a savage.”
Bisping continued, “He’s got good technique. Even though he was going up against Mike Tyson, there was a chance and danger that he would lose that fight in devastating fashion. He thinks Mike Perry is easy work, he thinks he is going to go out there and beat him, but he’s wrong. Mike Perry is a fighter, there isn’t a fight that he won’t take. He is the epitome of a real fighter.”
Bisping further emphasized Perry’s credentials, saying, “When you talk about Mike Perry, the fact that he’s beaten guys like Luke Rockhold and Michael ‘Venom’ Page shows that he is making a mistake. Jake Paul has made a tremendous mistake because Mike is a real fighter and he is going to go right at Jake. The man has got a chin and the fire still burns.”
As for Tyson, who hasn’t competed in a professional fight in almost two decades, he will be 58 years old when he steps into the ring with Paul in November. The boxing legend will need to pass brain and heart scans to be eligible to fight but has insisted he is in good health despite his recent medical scare.
Jake Paul, known for his audacious moves in the boxing world, faces a potentially risky fight against Perry. As the boxing community speculates on the outcomes, fans are eager to see how Paul’s strategy unfolds leading up to his November clash with Tyson and whether he can handle the formidable challenge that Perry presents.
