Paul takes an interim fight against 'Platinum' Perry while he waits for 'Iron' Mike Tyson in the fall.
The show will apparently go on without Mike Tyson this summer as YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul turns his attention to another Mike altogether. The rumors ended up being true with Paul set to face former UFC fighter and current bare-knuckle brawler Mike Perry in his next boxing match which is scheduled for July 20th.
It's quite the gamble for Paul to be fighting Perry, but he's no stranger to challenging himself against ex-UFC stars as he has dropped the likes of Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and lastly Nate Diaz. Regardless of Perry's resume, Paul says he will still fall like the rest of his opponents when they meet on July 20th.
Like it or not, Paul is one of the most polarizing figures in combat sports today and rides a three-fight win streak with his last two fights being knockouts over pro boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland.
