Jake Paul predicts the outcome of the Mike Perry fight
Jake Paul confirmed the Mike Perry fight in a YouTube video. Perry is known for his aggressive fighting style and many consider him a difficult challenge for Paul.
'The Problem Child' admitted that fighting Perry was a risky move that would jeopardize his big payday against Mike Tyson if he lost. However, he still went on to give a bold prediction for the fight:
“My official prediction for the fight - Three rounds or less. Calling it now. These guys can’t hang with me, nobody’s really been able to see my skill from the past year. I’ve had new coaches, development has gone f***ing amazing, and I’m excited to put on a performance July 20.”
