Jake Paul and Mike Perry. will square off in the boxing ring this weekend, after the influencer’s planned bout with Mike Tyson was delayed.
Paul, 27, was set to fight Tyson, 58, on Saturday, but the heavyweight legend suffered an ulcer flare-up on a fight in may. That health scare has led Paul vs Tyson to be delayed until November, but Paul – in a bid to stay active – will face Perry here.
The same applies to Amanda Serrano, who was due for a rematch with Katie
Taylor, before the pair clash in November, Serrano will compete this weekend.
