“Mike Perry Predicts Jake Paul’s Fate Against Him in Bare Knuckle Boxing”
As the countdown to their showdown on July 20th at Amalie Arena, Tampa, Florida, intensifies, Mike Perry isn’t holding back in predicting Jake Paul’s fate in a potential bare knuckle boxing match. The former UFC fighter turned BKFC champion, undefeated in the bare knuckle arena, has confidently stated his belief that Paul would struggle in such an environment.
Perry, whose transition to BKFC marked a significant career resurgence, spoke candidly in an interview with Jake’s MVP about the matchup. When asked if Paul could handle him in a bare knuckle bout, Perry responded unequivocally, “No, I don’t think he could win… Jake don’t want to come do my ring.”
A confident and proud Perry quickly answered, “No, I don’t think he could win… Jake don’t want to come do my ring”.
Perry didn’t stop there, adding a touch of bravado by suggesting Paul prefers the safety of boxing gloves. “I’ll put the pillows on for you bud. You could go bare knuckle, I’ll put the pillows on. He’s gonna break his hand, first hit,” Perry quipped, illustrating his confidence in his raw fighting prowess.
While Perry’s remarks highlight his belief in his bare knuckle supremacy, the likelihood of such a matchup remains speculative. Despite Paul’s penchant for spectacle and promotion through his own company, Perry’s readiness and strategic approach could pose a challenge should circumstances align.
“I’m going to hit him and he’s not going to like it. Im going to chase him around the ring, I’m going to make him tired and keep that pressure on him”. Reflecting on Paul’s fight against Tommy Fury, Perry revealed his strategy.

Reflecting on strategy, Perry drew comparisons to Paul’s recent bout with Tommy Fury, noting gaps in defense that he intends to exploit. “I’m going to hit him and he’s not going to like it. I’m going to chase him around the ring, make him tired, and keep the pressure on,” Perry strategized, emphasizing his intent to dictate the pace and style of the fight.
He continued, “Depending on my speed and footwork on the night, I’m looking to come forward, cut angles, get to the side, and punch him straight down the pipe. It’s about what I do, not what he does.”
As the date approaches, Perry stands poised as a formidable opponent, ready to test Paul’s mettle in a manner that differs vastly from his previous boxing exploits. The question remains whether Paul’s skills and strategy can withstand Perry’s relentless approach, or if the BKFC champion will prove to be too much for the YouTube-turned-boxing sensation.
