Boxing influencer Jake Paul is set to take on former UFC fighter Mike Perry this weekend as the pair go head to head in Florida after Paul's originally scheduled bout against legend Mike Tyson was postponed.
The 57-year-old's health scare from an ulcer flare-up mid-flight in May however meant that the fight will be delayed until later this year November, but Paul spent no time at all finding himself a new opponent ahead of his 11th professional bout.
Since his split decision loss to British boxer, and former World Champion Tyson Fury's brother, Tommy Fury back in February last year, he's gone on to beat Nate Diaz, Andre August and stopped Ryan Bourland inside the first round in March in his previous fight.
But he will face a new challenge in the form of Perry, who since his UFC days has turned to bare-knuckle boxing.
