Jake Paul vs Mike Perry LIVE Boxing fight result and reaction as
Paul dispatched the former UFC star before challenging a UFC champion and providing an update on the Tyson fight
Jake Paul admits being ‘a little scared’ ahead of Mike Tyson fight

Jake Paul produced a fine performance to stop Mike Perry in the sixth round, as the YouTuber remained sharp and banked another brutal knockout to set up a fight with Mike Tyson.

Paul, 27, now 10-1 as a boxer, was due to box Tyson, 58, this evening, but the heavyweight legend suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight in May.

But an impressive display here, down at cruiserweight, saw Paul drop “Platinum” Perry three times in six energy-sapping rounds, confirming the rearranged bout with boxing legend Tyson in November on Netflix.

Paul also took the opportunity to call out UFC champion Alex Pereira after the fight, although the prospect of a future meeting remains unlikely given the Brazilian’s contractual situation and UFC boss Dana White’s previous reluctance to allow his fighters to perform outside of the promotion.

Relive all the action from Tampa Bay below and follow reaction as Jake Paul moves to 10-1 after victory over Mike Perry:

How tough is Alex Pereira in the boxing ring?

Alex Pereira would be the toughest MMA fighter Jake Paul has boxed before.

Would Paul even have the weight advantage? Pereira said he weighed approximately 225lbs on the night for UFC 303, he has a large frame.

That’s around what Paul weighed tonight, sure, given the 200lbs weight limit, he could balloon further, but Paul would sacrifice speed.

Jake Paul discusses potential Alex Pereira fight

Paul adds on Pereira: “I want everybody, he’s tweeted about going into boxing. We got him on the FaceTime in the ring.

“I said, ‘yo, can you get out of your contract?’ He had to pause and look at his manager, these guys aren’t their own bosses.

“I want all the smoke, will Dana let him out? That’s too much of a risk to embarrass his No.1 fighter now. He’s the king of the UFC.”
