The Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry July 20 showdown replaced a previously booked fight between Paul and 58-year-old former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. The legendary Tyson was to box Paul in a heavyweight boxing matchup on July 20, but Tyson's health issues led to their fight being postponed to Nov. 15, 2024.
With the Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry cruiserweight boxing match booked as the new headliner for the July 20 boxing event, they spoke over a video call on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani last month (June 2024).
'Platinum' referenced a famous Mike Tyson quote of everyone having a plan until they get punched in the face. Perry added that he likes getting punched in the face, alluding to his otherworldly toughness.
Paul responded by directing epithets at Perry. The influencer then opined that he doesn't like getting hit in the face and trains to avoid getting hit, which is what he claims he'll teach the former UFC star in their boxing match.
