Former UFC welterweight Mike Perry believes he will face Jake Paul<\/a> after all.<\/p>\n

‘Platinum’ is famously unbeaten since leaving the UFC in 2021. He’s picked up multiple victories in the BKFC ring, notably defeating Michael ‘Venom’ Page last August by decision. Perry also picked up a victory over pro boxer Michael Seals in Triller Triad Combat in November 2021.<\/p>\n

It’s likely thanks to his recent success that the former UFC welterweight is targeting a boxing match with Jake Paul. ‘The Problem Child’ recently signed<\/a> to the PFL but is noncommital about fighting in MMA in 2023. Instead, he would like to compete in boxing for his next matchup.<\/p>\n

Last month, the YouTuber slammed Tommy Fury for declining to fight him and named Mike Perry as a possible replacement. ‘TNT’ later came out and hit back<\/a> at him for those comments. However, it’s worth noting that Fury has been scheduled to fight Paul twice, withdrawing from both matches.<\/p>\n

As of now, it’s not known who Jake Paul will box next. However, Perry gave an update on talks between the two of them in a recent interview with MMAFighting<\/em>. There, the former UFC fighter explained that he believes the boxing match will indeed happen.<\/p>\n

\"Mike-Perry\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe it was for mid-February,\u201d Perry told MMA Fighting. \u201cI don\u2019t know what I can and can\u2019t say, [because] I want it to happen, but there was supposed to be a really cool location and that intrigued me, I think it happens. If it is mid-February, I\u2019ll be ready. I\u2019m ready this weekend. I\u2019m going to keep working, road work, lift some weights, eat healthy, just keep feeding myself and stay hungry. That\u2019s me. That\u2019s what I do.\u201d (h\/t MMAFighting<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

He continued, “…As far as I know, it\u2019s the same as it was. Not much has really changed, and we\u2019re in the same position as we were in a few days ago. I\u2019m just calling people out and staying ready to compete, but I\u2019ll tell you, it doesn\u2019t matter to me. I love boxing. I\u2019m ready to throw hands. I can take a hell of a punch, I give it back, I\u2019m getting slick, I\u2019m moving properly, and I\u2019ve always been a boxer deep down.”<\/p>\n
