Last night, bare-knuckle boxer Mike Perry faced Jake Paul in an 8-round cruiserweight boxing match in Tampa, Florida. Paul knocked down Perry in rounds 1 and 2. The Problem Child picked up the victory over Perry by TKO in the sixth round.
On X, Conor McGregor, a part owner of BKFC, stated that he had released Mike Perry from the company. McGregor added that Perry could fight for the Dirty Boxing Championship (Perry’s promotion).
“Hey Mike youre released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired. @bareknucklefc”
Mike Perry responded to McGregor during the post-fight press conference. Perry stated that he and McGregor are owners of BKFC and McGregor can’t fire him.
“Me and him are both owners of BKFC, so he can’t fire me.”
