Jake Paul scored another impressive victory on Saturday night, defeating Mike Perry via sixth-round TKO in the main event at the Amelie Arena in Tampa, Florida. Despite Perry being a BKFC champion, Paul’s boxing skills were evident as he dropped Perry three times during the fight. Perry struggled to defend himself and looked amateurish compared to Paul, who dominated the match.
The first knockdown came from a powerful punch from Paul, although Perry was not yet rocked at that point. As the fight progressed, Perry continued to struggle to keep up with Paul’s pace and skill level. In the sixth round, Paul unleashed a flurry of punches that ultimately led to the referee stopping the fight, as Perry stumbled and was unable to continue.
Following his victory, Paul briefly discussed his next opponent, the legendary Mike Tyson. Originally scheduled to fight Tyson on the same date, Paul confirmed that the rescheduled fight is set for November 15 and will be available on Netflix. Despite the talk of facing Tyson, Paul also expressed interest in a potential rematch with Perry in BKFC or MMA, as well as calling out UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.
Despite the callouts and discussions with Pereira following the fight, it is unlikely that Paul will face the UFC champion anytime soon. Pereira is still under contract with the UFC, and the promotion has rarely allowed its fighters to compete in other sports. Fans of Paul’s crossover events may have to settle for the highly anticipated clash with Tyson, which is expected to be more competitive than the fight against Perry.
Overall, Paul’s victory over Perry showcased his boxing skills and dominance in the ring. Despite Perry’s BKFC championship, he struggled to keep up with Paul, who controlled the fight from start to finish. With the upcoming fight against Tyson and potential rematches in BKFC or MMA, Paul continues to make waves in the combat sports world with his impressive performances and callouts to top fighters in the industry.
As Paul looks ahead to future matchups and continues to challenge top fighters, fans can expect more exciting events and matchups in the world of combat sports. While facing a UFC champion like Pereira may be unlikely, Paul’s determination and skills in the ring continue to attract attention and interest from fans around the world. With his next fight against Tyson set to air on Netflix in November, Paul’s journey in the world of combat sports is far from over.
