Jake Paul is challenged to a street fight by the bare-knuckle champion over Mike Tyson's bout fears

Threat of a Street Fight

Bare-knuckle boxing champ Mike Perry has thrown down the gauntlet to Jake Paul, warning him of a potential street fight if he harms boxing legend Mike Tyson during their upcoming controversial match on July 20 in Texas.

Criticism Over Age Gap

Paul has faced criticism for the significant 30-year age difference between him and Tyson, with Perry being the latest to express his disapproval.

Perry's Challenge to Jake Paul

Perry, known for his bare-knuckle fighting skills, directly challenged Jake Paul through TMZ Sports, urging him to consider a street fight if he manages to defeat Mike Tyson in the ring.

Background of the Fighters

Paul, with a record of 9-1 in boxing, suffered his only loss to Tommy Fury last year but has since claimed three consecutive victories. On the other hand, Tyson officially retired in 2005 and returned for an exhibition bout in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr.

Perry's Transition to Boxing

Having transitioned from the UFC to bare-knuckle boxing in 2022, Perry boasts a flawless 4-0 record with bare fists. He has expressed interest in switching to traditional boxing and has even served as a replacement opponent for the Paul brothers in the past.

Sparring and Skills

Perry and Paul have sparred before, with Perry acknowledging Paul's talent in the ring but confidently stating his belief in defeating him swiftly, comparing it to Paul's victories over opponents he referred to as "taxi drivers."
