Controversial internet personality Jake Paul faces off against the King of Violence Mike Perry at the Amalie Arena in Tampa.
Jake Paul’s boxing career has been heavily criticised but some of his recent results are starting to silence the doubters.
His opponents are handpicked based on name value, but the majority of the time they are fighters who are coming to the end of their career.
Problem Child’s only loss came against Tommy Fury, a fight in which he looked impressive against a much more experienced opponent.
Mike Perry is a bare-knuckle fighter and UFC veteran. He’s unbeaten in five professional bare-knuckle bouts with wins against Eddie Alvarez, Luke Rockhold, and Michael ‘Venom’ Page.

Mike Perry
Perry is an experienced fighter, during his tenure in the UFC he had 15 fights, winning 7 and losing 8. He notched notable wins over Paul Felder and Jake Ellenberger.
All but one of his losses came via decision, suggesting he wasn’t totally out of his depth.
Perry was eventually cut from the UFC after one win in five fights but has gone through a career rebirth at BKFC, the partly owned Conor McGregor bare knuckle organisation – where he’s five fights unbeaten.
Jake Paul
The social media star is 9-1-0 after a recent loss to Tommy Fury, and he’s the heavy favourite against Perry.
He’s taken a handful of high-profile scalps from UFC veterans: Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and Nate Diaz, who are all much more successful than Perry in their fighting careers.
Jake Paul v Mike Perry Predictions & Best Bets
👑 Best Bet: Jake Paul to win by points or decision
📈
Odds: 3.30
🥊 Next Best: Jake Paul to win & be knocked down
📈
Odds: 7.0
Jake Paul’s boxing ability is getting better with each fight and his dedication to the sport is starting to get recognised.
His fights are handpicked – usually ageing fighters with a few miles on the clock.
After his scheduled bout with Mike Tyson was postponed the main priority was to get a warm-up fight and not to jeopardise his high-profile bout with the former heavyweight champion.
It’s no secret that Perry has power but gloved boxing is a different fighting style and his move to another discipline won’t carry his power, unlike bare-knuckle.
With the Tyson payday looming Jake Paul will fight smart, and he won’t take many risks. Combine this with Perry’s lack of quality boxing experience and we could see the fight go the distance here.
However, should Mike Perry decide to go for broke in the early rounds he has more than enough experience and power to sit Jake Paul down.
He’s got 3 TKO victories in his last five fights and a total of 11 knockouts in 14 wins in MMA.
