Ahead of their July 20th bout, Jake Paul and Mike Perry have already begun a heated exchange of words. The cruiserweight fight has Perry, a seasoned bare-knuckle and MMA fighter, as the underdog against Paul, who has been making waves in the boxing world.
Perry, unfazed by his underdog status, embraces the physicality of combat, even welcoming the punches, which Paul derides, emphasizing his boxing strategy of avoiding hits. Their verbal sparring recalls a past training session where Paul claims dominance, a claim Perry disputes, insisting he had the upper hand, especially in the later rounds.
As they prepare for their upcoming fight, Paul is confident, dismissing Perry’s experience in bare-knuckle fighting and looking beyond to a future fight with Mike Tyson. Perry, on the other hand, aims to prove himself as a genuine fighter and expose Paul’s boxing record as inflated.
The trash talk escalates with Perry questioning Paul’s toughness and Paul inviting the use of Perry’s words against him after their fight. With both fighters standing their ground, the anticipation for their encounter in the ring grows, promising an explosive showdown.
