Jake Paul is set to return to the ring on July 20 when he battles former UFC fighter Mike Perry.
Influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul was originally set to take on boxing legend Mike Tyson, but ‘Iron Mike’ had to postpone his long-anticipated return after suffering an ulcer flare-up.
Not wanting to wait until November, Paul instead decided to pencil in another match for July 20, facing off against Mike Perry instead.
Perry has been tearing it up in the BKFC where he’s currently undefeated, boasting a 5-0 record and could provide quite the challenge for ‘The Problem Child.’
According to Jake, the outcome of this fight could have an impact on his upcoming match against Mike Tyson and it might not happen if he loses to Perry.
