Super middleweight boxer J’Leon Love has responded to a recent callout from UFC welterweight fighter Mike Perry.<\/p>\n

Love and Perry crossed paths a few weeks ago in Florida, when ‘Platinum’ came to spar with J’Leon’s buddy Jake Paul. News of the Paul-Perry sparring session was not made public until former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier suggested<\/a> that the infamous YouTuber fight Mike Perry in his next boxing match.<\/p>\n

Jake Paul responded to Poirier’s suggestion by sharing a video clip<\/a> of Mike Perry saying “you kicked my ass” immediately following their sparring session.<\/p>\n

‘Platinum’ was obviously not happy with Paul and J’Leon Love sharing that video, and promptly shared his own short footage from their sparring match (see that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The brash UFC welterweight, Perry (14-8 MMA), later went on to issue the following statement on his sparring match with Paul.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only clip we got. Go ahead and post some\u00a0@jakepaul<\/a>\u00a0, I took your best shots and walked you down all day. We all know I\u2019m not hard to hit but I\u2019m gonna focus on that now. You know there was no danger in boxing a wrestler last night and you gave me a chance to punch you in the face (and I did) and I respected it but you mistook that and that\u2019s my fault. I show up with my girl and baby so I don\u2019t bring drama.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Mike Perry continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cI show up and fight. I was a fan after you sparred me. You showed heart and you\u2019re already successful and you seemed to have a strong team (power in numbers) but you\u2019re a spoiled brat and I\u2019m rich in life. You\u2019re broke with a bunch of fake yes men around you that you pay for. I don\u2019t fuck with nobody and all the money in the world can\u2019t make you real like me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Most recently Mike Perry took to Twitter<\/a> where he issued the following callout of J’Leon Love (24-3-1).<\/p>\n
