This weekend’s biggest fight is one that probably wasn’t on the radar a few months ago.
But on Saturday in Tampa, Florida, YouTube influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paulo will fight against former UFC fighter Mike Perry in a boxing match in DAZN pay per view.
The fight is scheduled for 200 pounds and comes a few months before Paul will box Mike Tyson. He scheduled the fight with Perry when Tyson had to postpone. Perry in recent months has become a BKFC champion on the bare side.
On Friday, Paul had to strip down to get 200 pounds on his nose, but he did it to become an official. Perry was several pounds lower at 196.6.
Check out videos of their travels on the layover below.
Mike Perry officially weighs 196.6 pounds
The public weigh-in begins TONIGHT at 6pm EST at Amalie Arena. This is the LAST TIME the fighters will FACE EACH OTHER before FIGHT NIGHT tomorrow, Saturday, July 20
