When Mike Perry called out Jake Paul for a bare-knuckle boxing match if he "hurts" Mike Tyson in their fight: "Let me get that, bro"

BKFC star and former UFC fighter Mike Perry had set his eyes on Jake Paul. Perry previously challenged Paul for a bare-knuckle fight.

Perry spoke with TMZ Sports just one month before his main event clash against Thiago Alves at BKFC Knucklemania IV to talk about his future plans and opponent. The current 'King of Violence', while excited for his fifth bare-knuckle show, acknowledged that Paul is still in his plans.

In response to a question about his 'dream fight', Perry stated:

''Jake Paul, man. If he hurts Mike Tyson, let me get at that, bro.''

In addition, Perry questioned the legitimacy of Paul's boxing opponents and asserted that, in any case that they ever squared off, he would easily defeat the 27-year-old. He said:

''Jake man, definitely issuing you a challenge. If you get through Mike Tyson, test yourself for real and let's have a street fight... I'd like to say I'm beating him as fast as he's beating these taxi drivers, especially bare-knuckle. I'll hurt him and he'll cry and run away and cower in the corner in the fetal position."

Check out Mike Perry's comments below (7:16):

'Platinum', who is 5-0 right now in the BKFC, has triumphed against both current and former mixed martial artists, such as Luke Rockhold, Eddie Alvarez, Michael 'Venom' Page, and Julian Lane. In his last fight, Perry fought Alves, knocking him out in the first round.

Meanwhile, Paul is currently 9-1 in professional boxing. He is set to face boxing legend Mike Tyson on Nov. 15.

Perry has been calling for a fight with Paul since their ascent to popularity, but 'The Problem Child' has expressed little interest in a bare-knuckle fight. However, Perry was nearly close to facing Paul's elder brother, Logan Paul, in October 2023, as a backup for Dillon Danis' fight.

Jake Paul is supposedly going to face Mike Perry

It appears that Mike Perry's dream to face Jake Paul is finally coming true. Paul was scheduled to face Mike Tyson in a professional boxing match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20.

However, the fight was postponed as the boxing Hall of Famer experienced an ulcer flare-up while traveling. The YouTuber-turned-boxer will apparently face Perry on that day as 'Iron Mike' recovers.
