Ahead of his boxing match against the legendary Mike Tyson this summer, Jake Paul received a call-out from another combat sports star.
While speaking to TMZ, former UFC fighter and current Bare Knuckle FC middleweight Mike Perry was asked who his dream opponent would be for a bare-knuckle fight, and he didn’t hesitate to mention the longtime YouTuber while issuing a warning about his match against Tyson.
“Jake Paul, man,” Mike said “… If he hurts Mike Tyson, bro, let me get that, bro.”
TMZ pointed out that Perry served as one of Paul’s sparring partners ahead of his 2021 bout against Ben Askren. However, it was noted that Perry is a “huge fan” of Tyson, which explains his desire for payback if the 57-year-old gets hurt.
Paul is set to face Tyson on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix.
Perry will be in action sooner than that, as he will look to move to 5-0 in BKFC when he meets Thiago Alves at Knucklemania 4 on April 27 in Los Angeles.
