The upcoming boxing match between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and UFC veteran Mike Perry has become a hot topic in combat sports. Both fighters are known for their outspoken personalities, adding fuel to the pre-fight hype.
Perry, in just his second professional boxing bout, appears to be laser-focused on victory. 'Platinum' stepped in as a late replacement for Mike Tyson, who pulled out due to health problems.
Following an open workout, Perry delivered a fiery promo, his voice booming as he spoke about his desire for financial security and a life of luxury for himself and his family:
"I’m hungrier than ever! I need 20 million. I ain’t got enough yet. I gotta check that off my bucket list and get my mansion, and get my yacht, and get my family on the boat every day, and you ain’t taking that from me, bro! I’m so hungry!"

Mike Perry eager to replace Jake Paul for Mike Tyson fight
While the focus is on dethroning Jake Paul, Mike Perry harbors aspirations beyond this weekend's fight. He believes a win over Paul could pave the way for a dream showdown with boxing legend Mike Tyson, the original opponent for the highly anticipated Netflix bout.
Appearing on the Mighty Cast podcast. 'Platinum' stated:
"I was gonna say you know, this Netflix deal with Mike Tyson, I mean, I feel like I knock Jake out and they’ll be like, ‘Hey, do you wanna fight Mike instead?'"

"Fighting Mike would be cool, man. If I could steal this whole thing from Jake and just it’d be me and Mike Tyson, it would just be more fitting.” [H/t: Marca]
