Ex-UFC star Mike Perry reveals an alleged contract on bout vs Jake Paul following youtuber turning down their showdown

Jake Paul always complains about no legit fighter agreeing to fight him and throws disses across the combat sports universe. As if everyone wasn’t already aware of how much of an untrustworthy character the former vine star is, Mike Perry recently came forward to reveal a contract he received to fight Jake which later got canceled after the Youtuber pulled out.

Perry competed in the UFC for 5 years before changing to BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship). The 31-year-old claimed to get paid more by Bare Knuckle than by UFC. Perry has been seeing good success as a boxer and wanted to avenge his fellow UFC fighters by beating up Jake Paul.

I signed a contract to fight @jakepaul but he changed his mind 🤷‍♂️

In his defense, Platinum said, “I fought a 27-3 pro boxer, I am currently 3-0 in the last two years as a boxer. I am a boxer and Can beat any boxer/fighter at 175-185. Give me a real boxing match and I prove it. Cuz we know they not stepping in @bareknucklefc with me. ASAP too!”

He also hinted at a potential venue,

I’m undefeated in England, just saying, Manchester and London 😉

Previously retired UFC veteran Donald Cerrone also expressed interest in fighting to get a piece of the ‘millions’ Paul was throwing around. However, ‘The Problem Child’ realized that ‘Cowboy’ was out for money and turned down that fight. Mike also had some history with the cowboy so he wasn’t willing to pass on a potential rematch,

If you’re looking to box @Cowboycerrone I’m up for my rematch. . .

Who will Jake Paul actually fight next?

Things are not looking very good for Jake Paul. Not many people in the fighting business seem to trust him much and fighting washed-out MMA fighters, YouTubers, and NBA stars have not helped his case at all. Now turning down a seasoned fighter like Perry who is still in his early 30s probably proves the naysayers right.

Jake has talked about fighting Tommy Fury but that fight doesn’t have any concrete paper out there.
