- Mike Perry will try and replace Jake Paul in his upcoming fight with Mike Tyson
- “Platinum” believes a knockout win could make it possible
Mike Perry is on a mission to stop Jake Paul from taking on Mike Tyson and getting paid.
Perry plans to ruin Jake’s plans
In an interview with Michael Bisping, “Platinum” did not shy away from revealing his dark plans ahead of his boxing match with Paul. According to Perry, he wouldn’t just knock “The Problem Child” out because he wants to win but more importantly, because he wants to replace Paul in his upcoming fight with Tyson.
“I might nibble on his ear a little bit, get him ready for if he thinks he’s gonna fight Mike Tyson. I’m trying to ruin that whole thing for him, see if they offer it to me after I knock Jake out and be like, ‘Hey do you want to fight Mike Tyson on Netflix?’ I would, but I don’t want to be an a**hole either. And I could go in there and move around with him and if Mike can’t knock me out which I don’t know, he might be able to hurt me pretty good and then I’ll be the bad guy if I do good against the old guy,” Perry explained.
“That’s the real win here, if I can stop that but I don’t want it to hurt Mike’s pockets either,” he added. “If Mike wants to get paid and he wants to fight well then I’ll step in for Jake, I’ll put my guard up real good, let him punch on me.”
Things are getting heated between the two
As expected, Paul and Perry refuse to back down from one another in trash-talking. The pair had already begun with their verbal war heading into the fight with both fighters unsurprisingly confident about taking each other out.
As it stands, Paul vs. Perry will take place on July 20. A few months later, “The Problem Child” will carry on with his boxing showdown with Tyson. The match has already been rescheduled to No. 15.
