Quotes corner
Paul : “As I prepare for my fight against Iron Mike, there’s no better opponent for me than Mike Perry. He’s a proven knockout artist who has shown to be a maniac in and out of the ring. This is the perfect experience for me to gain in advance of facing Mike Tyson. Those who know me know I’m a risk taker and while ‘Platinum’ Perry might try to end me, I’m Jake Paul and I fear no man."
Perry : "Jake Paul claims he fears no man, but on Saturday, July 20, the world will see the truth: he just made the worst mistake of his life in trying to get through me before Iron Mike. I’m going to make it look easy and I’m going to teach Jake Paul the most he’s ever learned about fighting."
