Mike Tyson is going to be the next one to lose to Jake Paul.Jake Paul, a popular American YouTuber, won a bout in round six against Mike Perry, a former UFC bare-knuckle fighter, by technical knockout. Paul has stated his desire to face the renowned Mike Tyson.

The original plan was for Tyson to fight Paul on July 20 in front of an 80,000-person crowd at the Dallas Cowboys’ home stadium, with the bout being streamed live on Netflix. The bout was rescheduled to November 15 after the heavyweight boxing great withdrew from the event owing to health difficulties on the plane.

Instead of Tyson, Paul will face Mike Perry in their July 20 bout in Tampa, Florida. Despite never having fought for a title, Perry has a 14–22 record in mixed martial arts, with 8 losses occurring in the UFC. After his contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) ended in October 2021, Perry inked a deal to compete in the BKFC bare-knuckle boxing event in the United States. He defeated Thiago Alves, a previous BKFC middleweight champion, in the main event of their April 2024 battle, and he won all five of his bouts at BKFC.Nonetheless, Perry was unable to impede Paul’s progress due to his physical limitations. An accurate right hand from the American YouTuber knocked out his opponent in the first round. Just thirty seconds into the second round, Paul had Perry knocked down and was dominating the bout with his jabs.

In round three, Perry came out swinging, and he sliced Paul above the left eye with a punch. Round four saw Paul reclaim his dominance, and he continued to do so throughout the fight, sending Perry to the corner on multiple occasions and knocking him down a third time; the referee eventually waved his hand to stop the match after 1:12 of the sixth round.

According to data compiled by CompuBox, American Youtubers are by far the most popular. Paul landed 226 blows with 96 on aim, for a 43% success rate, whereas Perry landed 122 punches with 33 on target, for a 27% success rate, across the six rounds. In contrast to Perry’s 49 punches, which hit the target 11 times for a 22% success rate, Paul’s 142 jabs reached a 37% success rate. Two times as many accurate hard strikes were landed by Paul as by his opponent.

You had a great swing. You moved at a pace that I was unable to keep up with. Following the bout, Perry conceded that, unlike him, Paul didn’t just sit there and take blows.
