Jake Paul (9-1) was supposed to face Mike Tyson in a boxing match on July 20th. The fight was postponed to November due to Tyson’s health issues. However, Paul will be stepping into the ring before November.
The Problem Child is scheduled to face former UFC fighter and bare-knuckle boxer Mike Perry (5-0) on July 20th. The eight-round cruiserweight fight will take place at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
On Thursday, Conor McGregor attended the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s press conference to promote BKFC Spain. At the event, McGregor took a shot at Jake Paul and said that he was rooting for Mike Perry.
“Look at what has happened to Michael Perry, one of our big stars here. The King of Violence, he titles himself, and he’s had such a rise in the sport, and now he’s up against a little dweeb of a thing in a fight this weekend. We’re all rooting for him. This is the real thing.”
