Jake Paul isn’t hitting the brakes anytime soon! After delivering a stunning technical knockout (TKO) against Bare Knuckles champion Mike Perry in the sixth round, Paul is now setting his sights on a new challenge. The former YouTube star turned professional boxer is eyeing none other than UFC champion Alex Pereira.
Paul’s recent victory against Perry was not just a win; it was a statement. During his post-fight interview in the ring, Jake Paul made it clear that he has bigger plans:
“Mike Tyson, get ready! The contract is set for November 15 on Netflix. And Alex Pereira, if you want to step into the boxing ring, I’m here waiting. I’m the king of this sport, so come on if you want to box. We can make your dreams come true! I’ve already beaten UFC champions, and now I’ve just taken down a BKFC champ. Next, I’m coming for you.”
Jake Paul had initially been scheduled to face Mike Tyson on July 20, but Tyson’s ongoing medical issues led to a postponement. Meanwhile, Pereira, who had previously been invited to box by Anthony Joshua, has also responded to Jake Paul’s challenge.
So, will Alex Pereira accept Jake Paul’s invitation to the ring? And what will the future hold for both fighters if this bout becomes a reality? Stay tuned for what promises to be an electrifying clash!
