In a thrilling boxing match on Saturday night, social media star-turned-boxer Jake Paul emerged victorious with a sixth-round TKO against Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship champion Mike Perry. The win further solidified Paul's reputation as a serious contender in the boxing world and paved the way for his highly anticipated bout with boxing legend Mike Tyson.
From the opening bell, it was clear that Paul was the superior boxer, landing a powerful right hand on Perry within the first minute of the fight. Despite Perry's resilience and ability to withstand punishment, a second knockdown followed in the second round with another devastating right hand from Paul.
Throughout the fight, Paul displayed his boxing skills, using a variety of shots and an especially devastating jab that continuously hurt Perry. By the end of the fifth round, Perry's legs were visibly wobbly, prompting the doctors and referee to consider stopping the fight. However, Perry was allowed to continue into the sixth round.
It was in the sixth round that Paul delivered the final blow, rocking Perry with a hard right hand and subsequently knocking him down for the third time. Although Perry managed to beat the count, his unsteady movement forced the referee to call a halt to the fight at the 1:12 mark of the sixth round.
After the match, Paul expressed his respect for Perry's toughness, calling him the "king of violence" and commending his status as the BKFC champion. Paul then guaranteed that the much-anticipated fight with Mike Tyson was a done deal, stating that the time had come to take Tyson's crown.
In an unexpected turn, Perry took the opportunity to call out former UFC middleweight and current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, suggesting a boxing match between them. Paul, however, emphasized his own dominance, proclaiming himself the "king of this" and inviting Pereira to come and challenge him.
In other exciting bouts of the night, Amanda Serrano secured a second-round TKO against Stevie Morgan, positioning herself for a rematch against Katie Taylor, one of the top women's fighters in the sport. Additionally, Lucas Bahdi delivered a stunning knockout punch to derail the undefeated Ashton Sylve's hype train.
With his impressive victory over Perry, Jake Paul has further solidified his place in the boxing world and is now set to face off against the legendary Mike Tyson in what promises to be an epic showdown. Boxing fans around the world eagerly await this clash between two formidable opponents as they vie for greatness in the ring.
