Mike Perry Calls Out Jake Paul for Dodging Bareknuckle Fight Ahead of Their July 20th Boxing Bout

As the highly anticipated boxing bout between Mike Perry and Jake Paul approaches on July 20th, tensions are escalating. Known for his fierce fighting style and unfiltered personality, Mike Perry has publicly challenged Jake Paul to a bareknuckle fight, raising questions about Paul's willingness to face the raw brutality of combat without the protection of gloves.

In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Perry didn't hold back his criticism of Paul. “One thing I want to remind Jake over and over again is that he wouldn’t do a bare-knuckle fight,” Perry declared. “Whether he says he would or not, especially after this fight in 10-ounce gloves. He wants to bring it up like ‘boxing is this incredible sport and these hooligans are out there doing this bare-knuckle stuff.’ I’m going to beat him with 10-ounce gloves on. He definitely won’t want to do bare-knuckle after that.”

Perry's remarks highlight a significant difference in their combat sports backgrounds. While Paul has made a name for himself in the world of celebrity boxing, Perry has carved out his reputation in the brutal and unforgiving arena of bare-knuckle boxing. His willingness to engage in bare-knuckle bouts showcases a level of toughness and a no holds barred attitude that many believe Paul lacks.

The fight on July 20th will be contested under professional boxing rules, with both fighters wearing 10-ounce gloves. This, according to Perry, is a significant factor in Paul's favor. The gloves provide a level of protection that isn't available in bare-knuckle fights, which are notorious for their higher risk of cuts, bruises, and broken bones.

Perry’s taunts are more than just pre-fight trash talk; they serve as a psychological tactic aimed at getting under Paul’s skin. By questioning Paul’s courage and authenticity as a fighter, Perry is attempting to unsettle him and gain a mental edge before they step into the ring.

Jake Paul, for his part, has remained relatively silent on the bareknuckle challenge, focusing instead on his preparation for the boxing match. Known for his bravado and ability to sell fights, Paul has yet to directly address Perry’s taunts. However, his track record shows that he is not one to back down from a verbal sparring match, and it’s only a matter of time before he responds.

This showdown is more than just a clash of styles; it’s a battle for respect and legitimacy in the fight world. For Perry, it’s an opportunity to prove that his skills and toughness transcend the boundaries of different combat sports. For Paul, it’s a chance to silence a critic and continue his rise in the world of professional boxing.

As the fight date draws near, the anticipation is building, and the world is watching to see if Perry’s words will come true or if Jake Paul will once again defy his critics. One thing is certain: come July 20th, the gloves will be on, but the animosity between these two fighters will be anything but padded. Fight.TV is here for it!
