Before the most talked about fight of his career against former heavyweight world champion Myke Tyson, Jake Paul will have what could be considered a preparation contest against Michael Perry, a former mixed martial arts fighter.
The fight with Tyson was supposed to take place this July. Still, after a request for a postponement to November 15, Paul did not want to miss the preparation and decided to fight Perry, a native of Michigan.
In addition to the expectation of the influencer’s promotional capacity, this fight has a very interestingpurse, because Perry said he will earn a little more than 600 thousand dollars, while Jake Paul, as an organizer, will get more than what he earned in his last fight, which was between five and seven million dollars.

Why bet on Jake Paul?
If at first it was thought that Jake Paul would take his boxing career as a simple way to get money, the reality shows that theAmericanhas taken this sport as a profession, adding that point of marketing that is so lacking today.
At 27 years of age, Paul will be participating in the eleventh fight of his career. He has won nine times, with six knockouts, and lost only once.
His last fight ended with a technical knockout to Ryan Bourland, and he had already defeated another professional like Andre Agust. The only negative point in his short career came against Tommy Fury in February last year when he lost on the scorecards.
Other of Jake Paul’s fights have been against opponents from other fighting disciplines, but this does not detract from the fact that he is a boxer in full growth and an attractive show for the current generations.
The Problem Child has improved fight by fight, standing out for his power in his punches, and he is the favorite, which is shown by the fact that, in the contract, he offered his rival an additional prize of 500 thousand dollars if he reaches seven of the eight scheduled rounds.
The American has the opportunity to make a good impression before stepping into the ring in November to face Tyson.
Why bet on Michael Perry?
To the boxing world, the name of American Michael Perry doesn’t say much. However, those who follow mixed martial arts know the Michigan native’s ability. In 2015, he had the opportunity to box professionally against Kenneth McNeil, losing by knockout.
It’s been nine years since that loss, so Perry hopes to transport everything he learned in MMA into a ring, especially since this fighter had the opportunity to practice bare-knuckle fighting.
His fighting style is expected to be aggressive, looking to throw his opponent at all times and that already generates attraction in the spectator.
Perry had opportunities to return to boxing in previous years, for example against Julio César Chávez Jr., but he preferred to continue in his branch.
It should be noted that, in 2023, he defeated Eddie Alvarez and took his first title in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), achieving the recognition of the King of Violence, as the belt is called.
