It took just 6 rounds for Jake Paul to knockout Mike Perry, ahead of his fight against Mike Tyson he called out UFC Light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.
After three knockdowns and a final submission of Mike Perry in the sixth round, Jake Paul fulfilled his pledge to stop “The King of Violence.”
Perry was still going back for more, even though his boxing expertise was significantly more about toughness than talent.
Perry persisted even though there were a few occasions when it appeared like the referee may halt it.
It took until the sixth round for Paul to finally knock the UFC veteran out cold, as he staggered Perry once more and launched a barrage of blows.
Perry stood up again before the ten count, but the bout was ruled off because of his stumble when the referee asked to see his balance
Jake Paul calls out Alex Pereira ahead of Mike Tyson Fight
Naturally, Paul was supposed to fight the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion on Saturday night, but instead they are slated to square off in a boxing contest in November.
Due to health concerns, Tyson was unable to compete; nonetheless, the bout was rescheduled for November.
Even though it still tops his list of priorities, Paul also issued another statement, this time criticizing Alex Pereira, the current Light Heavyweight Champion.
He said, “Alex Pereira, you said you want to box, I’m the king of this.
“Come over, we can make it happen. I want you Alex Pereira. I just beat a BKFC champion.
“I beat multiple UFC champions. He said he wants to box. Alex Pereira, after Mike Tyson, let’s make it happen.”
Paul had to punish Perry severely before confronting Tyson and Pereira because Perry was almost too strong for his own good.
Paul said that although he struggled with a hand issue and a sickness on Saturday, he wasn’t really at his best, but he still completed the task.
