I want the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight to be the most boring fight ever. I want Tyson to punch him once and knock him out cold. Just one quick punch and a broken jaw.
That’d be so funny.

Tyson Fury vs Jake Paul Fight LIVE
Tyson Fury vs Jake Paul Fight LIVE
In the lead-up to his comeback to the ring, Mike Tyson is referring to his bout with Jake Paul as "Jake's wake". Since leaving the ring against Kevin McBride in 2005, "Iron Mike," who will be 58 when he enters the ring, has not participated in a professional fight. He did participate in an exhibition bout with fellow boxing icon Roy Jones Jr. four years prior, even though he hung up the gloves that evening. Tyson Fury and Jake Paul
Tyson Fury vs. Jake Paul: A Clash of Styles and Generations The potential matchup between Tyson Fury and Jake Paul represents a fascinating intersection of traditional boxing and modern celebrity culture. With Fury being one of the top heavyweights of his generation and Paul emerging as a polarizing figure in the boxing landscape, this fight has captivated fans and analysts alike. In this piece, we’ll explore the backgrounds, styles, and implications of such a bout.
Backgrounds of the Fighters Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King
Tyson Fury, also known as the “Gypsy King,” has established himself as one of the elite heavyweights in boxing. Born on August 12, 1988, in Manchester, England, Fury comes from a family of boxers and was trained in the sport from a young age. He first gained international attention in 2015 when he defeated Wladimir Klitschko to become the unified heavyweight champion. Fury’s victory was not just significant in terms of the title but also marked the end of Klitschko’s long reign and dominance in the division.
Fury’s boxing style is characterized by his impressive footwork, agility, and the ability to switch stances. Standing at 6’9″ with a reach of 85 inches, he uses his size to create an advantage over opponents. His quick hands and movement allow him to evade punches while landing significant blows. Beyond his physical attributes, Fury’s mental toughness and ability to recover from adversity—both in and out of the ring—have been crucial to his success.
Jake Paul: The Social Media Sensation Turned Boxer
Jake Paul, born on January 17, 1997, in Cleveland, Ohio, first rose to fame on platforms like Vine and YouTube. As a social media influencer, he has cultivated a massive following and transitioned into boxing with surprising success. While many initially dismissed him as a gimmick, Paul has demonstrated a commitment to the sport, training rigorously and taking on a variety of opponents.
Paul’s boxing style is still evolving, but he has shown considerable power, finishing several of his opponents. At 6’1″ with a reach of 76 inches, he may not match Fury’s size, but he compensates with speed and an aggressive approach. Paul’s willingness to take risks and promote his fights has brought him both fame and criticism, creating a dynamic persona that resonates with younger audiences.
The Implications of the Matchup If Tyson Fury and Jake Paul were to meet in the ring, the implications would extend beyond the sport itself. It would represent a clash between the traditional values of boxing and the modern era of entertainment-driven matchups.
Critics argue that celebrity boxing undermines the sport’s legitimacy, while supporters claim it brings new fans to the sport. A fight between Fury and Paul could draw significant pay-per-view numbers, appealing to both boxing purists and casual viewers. The spectacle surrounding the event would be unprecedented, blending the worlds of sports and entertainment.
Fury’s Experience vs. Paul’s Marketing Prowess
Fury’s extensive experience and technical skills would likely give him the upper hand in a fight. His ability to withstand pressure and his strategic mindset in the ring are crucial advantages. In contrast, Jake Paul’s strengths lie in his marketing and promotional skills. He has successfully turned his fights into events, leveraging social media to engage audiences and build hype.
Breaking Down the Fight: What to Expect Fury’s Tactical Approach
In a matchup against Paul, Fury would likely employ a tactical approach, using his size and reach to control the distance. His experience against elite fighters would be invaluable, as he knows how to exploit weaknesses and adapt mid-fight. Fury’s ability to absorb punches and counter effectively would pose a challenge for Paul, who has yet to face someone with Fury’s caliber.
Paul’s Unpredictability
On the other hand, Jake Paul’s unpredictability could play a role in the fight. While he may lack the experience of a seasoned boxer, his willingness to take risks and push the pace could surprise Fury. If Paul can establish an early rhythm and land powerful shots, he could create openings. However, maintaining that intensity against a fighter like Fury would be a daunting task.
The Cultural Impact The fight could also have significant cultural implications. It would highlight the growing trend of crossover fights, where traditional athletes face off against celebrities. This could pave the way for future matchups between established fighters and non-traditional opponents, further blurring the lines between sports and entertainment.
Conclusion A fight between Tyson Fury and Jake Paul would not just be a clash of two fighters but a battle of ideologies within the sport of boxing. Fury represents the traditional path of dedication, skill, and resilience, while Paul embodies the modern era of social media influence and entertainment. Regardless of the outcome, the match would undoubtedly capture the attention of millions and spark debates about the future of boxing as a sport.
As fans eagerly anticipate the possibility, one thing is clear: this fight would not only be a test of skill and strategy but also a reflection of how the sport has evolved in the digital age. Whether you support Fury for his accomplishments or Paul for his unconventional rise in boxing, the narrative of this matchup is compelling, making it one of the most talked-about events in recent sports history.Tyson Fury and Jake Paul

TAMPA, FL – July 21, 2024 – In front of a sold-out crowd of 17,500 at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, MVP’s Jake “El Gallo” Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) put on an electrifying show as he demolished the King of Violence, “Platinum” Mike Perry (5-0, 3 KOs BKFC, 0-2 boxing), with a sixth round TKO. Paul, who came out on a gladiator’s chariot, put on a clinic from the opening bell of the bout on MVP’s Fear No Man. In Paul’s longest bout in nearly a year, he showcased his rapid development and growth as a boxer on the path to becoming cruiserweight champion. Paul dominated the fight by flooring Perry three times before the referee halted the bout at 1:12 of Round 6. He showcased his signature power and controlled the fight from the start with a knockdown in the opening round and flashed a strong left jab throughout the fight. Perry managed to open a cut over Paul’s left eye in the third round, but by round four, Paul delivered several combinations that rocked Perry into the ropes, before the 6th round TKO. After the fight, Perry acknowledged Paul's speed and skill, while Paul credited Perry’s toughness and willingness to keep coming at him before turning his attention to his next fight against Mike Tyson on Friday, November 15th. Paul also called out MMA light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira for an upcoming bout.
MVP’s Fear No Man: Paul vs. Perry, presented by CELSIUS Live Fit Essential Energy, was produced and marketed by MVP with Boxlab Promotions serving as the official licensed promoter and was distributed by DAZN pay-per–view. CELSIUS Live Fit Essential Energy, maker of lifestyle energy drink, is the exclusive energy drink sponsor of MVP. 
Boxing trailblazer and unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KOs) showed the world her power at super lightweight and overwhelmed Tampa’s own Stevie “Sledgehammer” Morgan (14-2, 13 KOs) with a flurry of non-stop punches, earning her 31st stoppage victory of her career just 38 seconds in the second round. Following the fight, Amanda noted that female fighters are mistaking her kindness for weakness, and said that if fighters weren’t on her level, she would show them exactly who she was. In a final message for Katie Taylor ahead of the pair’s most highly anticipated women’s boxing rematch in modern history on Friday, November 15, Serrano warned, “We’re going to show that women can fight, put on a show, and sell. But this time, [the result of our fight] is going to be a lot different.” 
In a spectacular upset, top-ranked IBF and WBA Lucas “Prince” Bahdi (17-0, 15 KOs) delivered a devastating KO over MVP’s H2O Sylve (11-1, 9 KOs) in a lightweight battle of two of boxing’s top contenders. Sylve owned the scores in the early rounds, dominating from the start, but in the 6th round, Bahdi shocked the world with two stunning two right crosses followed by a huge left hook that dropped H2O to the mat in a KO of the year contender. Following the bout, Bahdi thanked MVP and DAZN for the opportunity to compete on such a massive stage. As a precaution, H20 was taken to a local hospital and cleared by doctors.
After an exciting split draw on MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 5, Tony Aguilar (12-1-1, 4 KOs) and Corey “2SMoove” Marksman (10-0-1, 7 KOs) brought the energy in their pay-per-view debuts in a 8-round lightweight bout to settle the rivalry between the two. Crescent City, FL’s Aguilar was aggressive from the opening bell and brought the crowd to its feet as he delivered a relentless barrage against Marksman. The pair traded blows throughout eight rounds, with Marksman raising the intensity as the fight went on. The decision went to the cards and Orlando’s Marksman took home the majority decision victory over Aguilar (76-76, 77-75, 78-74). After the bout, Marksman shared an emotional moment about his long-awaited victory and that he hopes to see his professional career skyrocket from here.
Mexican cruiserweight and former WBC world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (54-6-1, 34 KOs) took on MMA star Uriah Hall (1-1 Boxing, 18-11, 14 KOs UFC) over 6 rounds at cruiserweight in the pay-per-view main card opener. Chavez Jr, son of former three-division world boxing champion Julio César Chávez, “El Gran Campeón Mexicano,” kept the pressure on Hall the entire fight,despite several power-packed combos from Hall. The bout resulted in a unanimous decision (59-55 x2, 58-56) victory in favor of Chavez Jr. After the bout, in-ring reporter and famed combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani asked Chavez Jr. if he would look to take on Jake Paul next, which Chavez Jr. accepted.
In the preliminary card headliner, MVP’s super middleweight powerhouse Shadasia “The Sweet Terminator” Green (14-1, 11 KOs) made her first appearance of 2024 as she returned to the ring to prove her path back to title contender. The Paterson, NJ native faced Cambridge, Ontario, Canada’s Natasha “Nightmare” Spence (8-5-2, 6 KOs) across a tense 8 rounds before the decision went to the cards, earning Green an impressive unanimous decision win (78-73, 77-74 x2). Following the bout, Green spoke in-ring about coming back from a loss on her record to emerge victorious again, and thanked her team, family, and MVP for standing behind her throughout her journey. 
Stunning the crowd with a vicious combo, Amanda Serrano’s signee Alexis “Chop Chop” Chaparro (2-0, 2 KOs) scored a sensational second round knockout over Kevin Hill (1-2, 1 KO). In a hard fought back and forth six-round battle, 21-year-old Angel Barrientes (12-1, 7 KOs) defeated Edwin Rodriguez (12-9-2, 5 KOs) by majority decision (57-57, 60-54 x2). In the opening fight of the evening, Tampa’s own Ariel “Golden Hulk” Perez (4-0, 3 KOs) wowed the crowd with a third round knockout over Dane Guerrero (0-1-1).

Me finding out about the mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But in all seriousness I do believe Mike Tyson will come out on top here. How confident am I? Well...
1. This is Mike Tyson were talking about
2. He is literally has one of the fastest knockout punches on record
3. This man literally bit a man's ear off mid fight.
4. This man has been to prison. I'm not talking speading a night in jail or 6-12 months like jake Paul. No literal 3 f**king years! Mike Tyson literally has said "i had the best three years of my life in prison" and I have heard stories that prison mike Tyson is way more scarier than ring mike Tyson.
5. This man is not your average 57 year old. This is going to be a 57 year old who is finally going to be able to let lose again and get a f**king adrenaline rush for the first time in 20 years. What Jake fails to realize is, men like Mike Tyson who come out of retirement to fight, are men who have a fire in them that can't be burned out. Jake picked the wrong one to mess with.
In conclusion...
Jake Paul better f**king pray he comes out intact

Fights to Make: UFC London
Jimi Manuwa (beat Corey Anderson) vs. Mauricio Rua: Just a few months ago, it looked like Manuwa had sort of flamed out as a prospect, but just two wins later, he’s suddenly one of the top contenders in the light heavyweight division. Wins over Ovince St. Preux and Anderson are fine enough, but it’s more the way that Manuwa has done it rather than anything else; he’s just absolutely melted both fellow fringe contenders, doing so to Anderson in just over three minutes. If one assumes Jon Jones isn’t back in action in time for the next title defense, Manuwa and Shogun Rua look like the next two possible contenders - I’ll run under the assumption that Jones gets the next shot, so Manuwa against Rua for that top contender spot makes the most sense.
Gunnar Nelson (beat Alan Jouban) vs. Dong Hyun Kim: Well, that was a reminder why people get so excited about Nelson - he looked outstanding here, more or less schooling Jouban (who has a submission background) on the ground before ending things with a picture-perfect punch into a funky choke submission. I’m still not sure Nelson’s weird bag of skills gets him into title contention, but he can still be a cult favorite and a viable headliner for smaller shows - in that vein, I’d like to see UFC try to rebook his fight with Dong Hyun Kim, which was slated to headline Belfast last November before Nelson got hurt. And given that Kim’s one of the few viable Asian headliners, that might make perfect sense for the Singapore card coming up in June.
Corey Anderson (lost to Jimi Manuwa) vs. Ilir Latifi: Well, this is another bump in the road for Anderson, and I’m not really sure how it changes things - he’s still pretty good, he’s still not ready for contention, and he still has one of the highest ceilings in the division, so it’s just still sort of a matter of waiting things out and seeing how he develops. Also, the thinness of the light heavyweight division makes matchmaking for Anderson kind of weird, since there’s not really much of a middle tier left as far as guys he can continue to improve against. I guess let’s go with Ilir Latifi, since that’d be a weird, funky fight against a guy with dangerous knockout power.
Joe Duffy (beat Reza Madadi) vs. Rustam Khabilov: Well, this assumes Duffy’s next fight will be in the UFC, since his contract is up, but he looked great here and pretty much treated Reza Madadi as the stepping stone he was supposed to be. Let’s get Duffy back in the mix as far as ranked lightweights, so let’s go with a guy on the fringe top-fifteen in Khabilov who can act as a final test for Duffy’s wrestling defense.
Leon Edwards (beat Vicente Luque) vs. Jake Ellenberger/Mike Perry (Apr. 22) winner: So, Leon Edwards is kind of a thing now, following up a big win over Albert Tumenov with another one against fellow top prospect Luque. There’s still some concerns in Edwards’s game - mainly, his tendency to go for takedowns in fights where he doesn’t really need to - but he wouldn’t have that concern against the winner of the upcoming Ellenberger/Perry fight in Nashville, as that could serve as a fun scrap to see if Edwards can start making a run up the rankings.
Alan Jouban (lost to Gunnar Nelson) vs. Alberto Mina: Well, that didn’t go too well for Jouban, as that pretty much served as a showcase fight for Nelson, and probably cemented Jouban’s fate as one of the better action fighters on the roster rather than a contender. Let’s go a bit off the board and put Jouban against Alberto Mina, a Brazilian-turned-Hong Kong native who’s fairly inactive - Mina’s shown flashes of dynamism, so this could be a fun fight, and would be a big test to see if Mina can actually start gaining some notoriety for when he actually fights.
Tim Johnson (beat Daniel Omielanczuk) vs. Andrei Arlovski: Well, that was a fight that happened. Johnson and Omielanczuk are solid, but not particularly dynamic, and...this was that Still, Johnson’s probably a fringe top-ten heavyweight at this point, given how thin the division is and all the failed drug tests that have added to that, so I guess you kind of have to give the North Dakota native a name next - let’s go with Andrei Arlovski? Sure, since I guess it’d be a test to see if Arlovski is at all capable of getting a viable win at this point.
Arnold Allen (beat Makwan Amirkhani) vs. Godofredo Pepey: So, this was a pretty fun win for Allen - it wasn’t a blowout, but he got to show off his well-rounded skills and get a big win over a fellow top European prospect. Allen’s still young, so I’d give him a few more tests before seeing if he’s ready to move into deep waters - Pepey, an aggressive submission expert, is the sort of dangerous but beatable opponent that can be a solid step up.
Marc Diakiese (beat Teemu Packalen) vs. Gregor Gillespie/Andrew Holbrook (Apr. 8) winner: So, Diakiese finally put on a performance like he was doing at the end of his pre-UFC run, destroying Packalen with a vicious knockout in thirty seconds flat and reminding people why he’s one of the best prospects in the sport. You could go a variety of different directions from here, but I’d like to feed him one more grappler to test that aspect of his game before moving him up the ladder in earnest - either Gillespie or Holbrook, who square off at UFC 210, would be the most physical wrestler Diakiese has faced yet, so I like that as a next test.
Marlon Vera (beat Brad Pickett) vs. Ricardo Ramos: Well, that was something. Vera was pretty handily losing Brad Pickett’s retirement fight before scoring a knockout head kick in the third round, and turned around the depressed crowd a bit thanks to, frankly, a hell of a post-fight interview that did more to put over Pickett’s career than anyone else. Still, I’m kind of “eh” on Vera as a prospect - he’s still developing, but I see him more as a test for the blue-chippers, and enter Brazil’s Ricardo Ramos, who came in with a ton of hype and had a mixed-bag debut win against Michinori Tanaka in February.
Makwan Amirkhani (lost to Arnold Allen) vs. Teruto Ishihara: On the plus side, Amirkhani got to further show off how strong the positives of his game are, as his wrestling and submission skills looked sharp against Allen. But, well, this loss also showed how limited that game is, and how only being good in really one aspect limits Amirkhani to a clear ceiling. I like the idea of a fight against Japanese prospect Ishihara - it’s flawed striker against flawed wrestler, plus both guys sort of play the over-the-top character of a ladies’ man, so if nothing else, the pre-fight banter would be excellent.
Vicente Luque (lost to Leon Edwards) vs. Zak Ottow: This was a disappointing loss for Luque, but there’s still a lot to like - his dynamism continues to be dangerous, and while he gassed badly after essentially throwing heat for a round-plus, he did gut through it at the end of the fight to almost steal the decision win. I’d put him against a durable vet who’s not particularly dynamic to see how far Luque’s game can continue to take him, and Ottow’s a solid choice for that task.
Lina Lansberg (beat Lucie Pudilova) vs. Jessica Eye: Lansberg’s win over Pudilova was shockingly narrow and shockingly fun, as Pudilova came on strong at the end of the fight to basically leave Lansberg a bloody mess. Still, Lansberg’s a tough, fun striker, and I like the idea of her facing Jessica Eye in a stand-up war that should serve as Eye’s last test to see if she can remain in the UFC.
Francimar Barroso (beat Darren Stewart) vs. Tyson Pedro: Ugh. Barroso got another win to stay in the promotion, and continues to probably be the most boring fighter to watch in the UFC, just neutralizing foes and not doing a whole ton himself. I’m not against the idea of him serving as a bounce-back fight to get smashed by someone like, say, Corey Anderson, but I guess I’ll continue to use him as a gatekeeper for prospects, so step on up Australia’s Tyson Pedro, who looked good in beating Paul Craig at UFC 209.
Brad Scott (beat Scott Askham) vs. Gerald Meerschaert: Scott’s win over Askham was, well, a Brad Scott fight (and a Scott Askham fight, frankly) - kinda fun, completely unmemorable, and continuing a trend of alternating wins and losses for the Brit. Gerald Meerschaert’s kind of making a name for himself as a solid vet who’s looked good in two UFC wins to date, and Scott would be a solid step up for him, so sure, let’s do that.
Teemu Packalen (lost to Marc Diakiese) vs. Jake Matthews: Well, after beating Thibault Gouti in twenty-four seconds last time in London, the cosmos paid Packalen back, as Marc Diakiese annihilated him in just thirty. Sadly, while Packalen’s a fairly solid talent, this probably establishes the Finn as someone who’s not really a priority prospect, so I like the idea of him as a bounce-back fight for Australian prospect Jake Matthews. Matthews looked like a blue-chipper before losses to Kevin Lee and Andrew Holbrook greatly dimmed his star, so I could see Packalen, who’s a dangerous submission artist but should be physically out-matched, as a solid last test to see if Matthews can hang in the UFC.
Daniel Omielanczuk (lost to Tim Johnson) vs. Tai Tuivasa: Shrug. Omielanczuk continued his pattern of looking good against the absolute dregs of the heavyweight division, but not being able to beat anyone decent, which, sadly, still makes him a fringe ranked heavyweight with the state of things. I guess allow him to be the fighter for Australian heavyweight Tai Tuivasa to debut in the UFC against? Once again, shrug.
Reza Madadi (lost to Joe Duffy) vs. Chris Wade: Well, Madadi lost rather handily, as expected, and I don’t really know where you go with the veteran grappler from here - hell, I wouldn’t have even re-signed him after he spent some time in jail for helping rob a handbag store. Let’s put him against Long Island’s Chris Wade in a fight between two similar types of guys who need a win, loser gets cut.
Darren Stewart (lost to Francimar Barroso) vs. Aleksandar Rakic: A disappointing performance for Stewart, who turned out to not have many ideas past an initial flurry of offense and might be better served at middleweight. Let’s put him against debuting Austrian light heavyweight Rakic, in the absence of any better ideas.
Lucie Pudilova (lost to Lina Lansberg) vs. Gina Mazany: Pudilova acquitted herself surprisingly well here, losing a narrow fight to Lansberg where she got to bloody Lansberg’s face up in a fun brawl during a late comeback effort. I’d like to keep her around, and I don’t think much of Mazany, who was somewhat of a baffling signing as a late-notice replacement to face Sara McMann last month, so that’s a good fight to make in my mind.
Scott Askham (lost to Brad Scott) vs. Oluwale Bamgbose: This might be it for Askham, who came in with some hype and is a fine fighter, but just never really leaves an impact on a fight and has racked up a bunch of close losses in the UFC. If he gets another shot, Bamgbose, who was supposed to fight Tom Breese here before that fight got pulled, would be a nice last-ditch opponent, since he’s a striker that should remain dangerous, but Askham might have trouble putting away.

Published: July 18, 2024

Amanda will test her power and endurance at super lightweight ahead of her clash with Katie Taylor later this year.
 MVP’s undefeated phenom and top lightweight prospect H2O Sylve (11-0, 9 KOs) will put his undefeated record on the line yet again against top IBF, and WBA ranked prospect Lucas “Prince” Bahdi (16-0, 14 KOs) in a 10 round lightweight bout. Also on the card, Mexican cruiserweight and former WBC world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.  (53-6-1, 34 KOs) returns against Uriah Hall (1-0 Boxing, 18-11, 14 KOs UFC) at cruiserweight and Crescent City, Florida’s Tony Aguilar (12-0-1, 4 KOs) vs. Orlando, Florida’s Corey “2Smoove" Marksman (9-0-1, 7 KOs) in an 8-round lightweight bout, a rematch of their split draw in February 2024 on Most Valuable Prospects 5.
 In today’s press conference hosted by renowned combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani, Paul, Perry, Serrano, Morgan, Sylve, Bahdi, Chavez Jr., Hall, Aguilar, and Marksmen had plenty to say about the upcoming event:
 JAKE PAUL QUOTES:
On whether he watched any footage of Perry: He had a boxing match in a triangle that I gained a lot of knowledge from. Lot of openings. It's gonna be a short night, Ariel.
On what he has to look out for in Perry’s skillset: The skills is what pay the bills. And he has no footwork, no head movement, no defense. He's a great offensive fighter and bare knuckle, but in terms of boxing, he's going to get picked apart very quickly, and it's going to be a short night. Like I said, my predictions are never wrong, so I stand on business every single time I manifested into reality. I Jake Joseph Paul will knock out Mike Perry in less than two rounds. It's going to happen, put money on it.
 On what the rationale was to take the fight and the difference between Tyson and Perry: To stay getting experience under the bright lights on my world, on my path to World Championship. And that's what matters, is getting the experience under the bright lights. And this is a Mike appetizer. Mike warm up, but they're both killers at the end of the day, and I do have to be sharp. He does have one punch knockout power that I do have to respect. But other than that, it's going to be easy.
 On Conor McGregor telling press that Perry was fighting a ‘dweeb’ in Jake Paul: Well, first of all, he's big up in BKFC, but you're going to see what I'm going to do to their best fighter on Saturday night. I'm going to embarrass their entire league. This guy has no skill; those are just brawler idiot street fighter dudes who have no idea what the sweet science is. Conor McGregor can say what he wants, but he won't fight me either. Once I knock out Mike Perry, Conor McGregor, let's run it. But you won't do it because you know what's going to happen. You saw what I did to Nate Diaz, who you went toe-to-toe with. Conor McGregor, lay off the cocaine, get in the gym, and start winning fights. Then maybe we could have a conversation.
On why he chose to take a dangerous fight despite Mike Tyson’s concerns: This is what I do. I'm here to fight. I love to take risks and do big events. Mike Tyson called and was concerned about this fight jeopardizing the biggest fight of my career. That's what puts the pressure on me, and I love that. I'm not slowing down for anybody. Mike Perry is not going to be the one to stop me. I'm on a path to World Championship. I'm not slowing down for anybody.
On what his biggest concern with the fight is: He's unorthodox. That's about it. So the first 30 seconds to a minute, just find my timing in range. That's then the fight's over. That's really about it.
On whether he’ll fight Perry in MMA: Yes, let's go after this. After I knock him out on Saturday, let's sign the contract for some MMA. I'll choke you out too.
On the decision to choose Perry as the opponent: This came about because he has a crazy fan base. And anytime I would post an Instagram picture over the last like 18 months, one of the top comments would always be fight Mike Perry. Fight. Mike Perry, you're scared of Mike Perry, and so I love to prove people wrong and take the fights that no one thinks I'm going to take.
On how his skill has improved: This past year has been a different Jake Paul showing up into the gym, learning in the gym, and I really haven't been able to display my skills because of the first round knockouts, and likely that'll happen again on Saturday, but I really have so many tools in the shed that I'm ready to pull out and get warmed up as the rounds go on, and just display all the new things we've Been working on.
On coming back to Tampa:  There's magic in this place. I love fighting in Florida and Tampa. The energy when I knocked out Woodley was amazing, one of the best moments of my life. I wanted to come back for another highlight reel KO.
Mike Perry Quotes:
On whether he has to get the win for not only himself but for the MMA community: I’m doing it for everybody, for me, for the fans, for BKFC, for MMA, you know, just mainly for me, because I believe in myself and my boxing ability. I'm a brawling boxing mug, so I'm ready to get in the ring with Jake and have some fun.
On how he has evolved since his last professional fight: I've been winning since then. There's all I know. I've been victorious. I've been succeeding consistently, and I've been getting better every single day. Put this little twerp in his place. He's new to this game. Welcome. Welcome. You just got here.
In response to Paul saying Perry has no boxing experience: Don't worry, you're going to get what you've been asking for, the fight to go longer than one round. Imma give you hell in the first round, and you'll get tired. You're going to be grasping for air. I made a new word, grasping.
On what makes him different from Diaz and other MMA fighters who Paul has fought: This is my chance to show the world what a real fighter can do in boxing. Those other guys were long past their prime.
Amanda Serrano Quotes:
On the trash talk from Stevie Morgan: Listen, I don't pay attention to that. That doesn't win fights, that doesn't pay my bills. I go out, I train hard, I fight hard, and you'll see Saturday night.
On if she is looking past Morgan with the Katie Taylor fight coming up: This is my 50th fight and I’ve never overlooked an opponent.
Stevie Morgan Quotes:
On her previous comment that Serrano is the weakest of the fighters at the top: I’m not being disrespectful at all, I’m just stating facts. If I had to fight any of the fighters at the top, Amanda is the one I’d choose mainly because she’ll make me look good… she’s on her way out, she could have retired two years ago.
On if Amanda is overlooking her for Katie Taylor: I don't think she looks past any opponent, but she shouldn't be for sure. One thing for sure, I am a professional, been in this game for 15 years, this is my 50th fight, and I never overlooked any opponent.
Lucas Bahdi Quotes:
On what it was like to get the call asking to be on the card: I've been waiting for an opportunity like this, a big opportunity, a big stage. This is obviously my toughest fight, his toughest fight by two undefeated fighters. It's gonna be a great fight.
H2O Sylve Quotes:
On what his assessment of Bahdi is: From what I saw in very fundamentally sound, he has a real right hand. I think that's the best attribute on this side.
Tony Aguilar Quotes:
On the previous split decision ruling in his first match with Marksman and if it would have been different were he in better shape: It wouldn't have been even close enough, and then even tried to call it a draw, you know, I mean, but Saturday, we will right that wrong, like they said, you know, because it was the wrong decision. But we will make sure they know on Saturday.
Corey Marksman Quotes:
On what he learned from the split decision between him and Aguilar: I'd say, don't take anything for granted. You know, you might think that you're in the lead, you might think that you're winning the fight, but at the end of the day, the judges are the ones that decide that. So you gotta really go out there and take what’s yours.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Quotes:
On his motivation to come back after a three-year break: To be back in boxing is great for me. I'm ready to put on a performance on Saturday.
On whether this is a one-off or a comeback: This is definitely a comeback.
Uriah Hall Quotes:
On his decision to come back after a two-year hiatus As an athlete, as a warrior, you still have those tendencies. And time to time, I get a little bored… so when this came up, I got excited.
