While Jake Paul won’t be fighting the legendary Mike Tyson this summer, fans will still get to see him in action on Saturday, July 20 during the can’t-miss “Fear No Man” boxing event.
The YouTube star turned boxer Jake “El Gallo” Paul will go up against bare knuckle champion boxer and MMA fighter “Platinum” Mike Perry. The two will face off in an eight-round boxing bout at Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Paul holds a record of 9-1 with 6 KOs. He has been bulking up in preparation for his fight against Tyson, which was rescheduled due to a health issue. This fight will give fans a taste of what they are in for when Paul goes up against “The Baddest Man on the Planet” on November 15.
“Platinum” Perry has a 0-1 boxing record but the former Mixed Martial Arts star holds a MMA record of 14-8. He’s competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 15 times and is looking to cause an upset before Paul’s showdown with Tyson in the fall.
The fight will be live streamed on DAZN.

Will Jake Paul Still Be Fighting Mike Tyson?
The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight has been rescheduled for Friday, November 15. The highly anticipated bout needed to be postponed after Mike Tyson had a health emergency in May. The legendary heavyweight champion suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. He is reportedly doing much better and will be ready for the exhibition fight with Jake Paul in November.
Tyson is one of the most feared knockout punchers and is widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. “The Baddest Man on the Planet” was the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title at just 20 years old. He holds a 50-6 career record and the fight against Jake Paul is sure to be one that goes down in the history books.
The rescheduled fight will be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and will be streamed exclusively through Netflix, which you can watch with DIRECTV.
