Mike Perry reveals brutal injury Jake Paul caused with first punch of fight MVPJake Paul bested former UFC fighter turned bare-knuckle boxer Mike Perry via TKO, and his opponent revealed just how much damage the first punch of the match ended up doing. On July 20, \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 took down Mike Perry in the sixth round to improve to 9-1, putting his only defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury firmly behind him. Perry joined Paul on his podcast to discuss the fight and had some kind words for his opponent, saying he \u201cdid a good job\u201d in the fight and he would be taking some time to let his rib heal up. According to Perry, his rib cracked after Paul hit him with his very first punch, completely changing how the match played out. \u201cFirst 10 seconds, that first punch you hit me with, you popped me,\u201d he said. (Segment begins at 1:30) Perry went on to explain, \u201cBecause look, I knew people were going to be like, \u2018Put your hands up,\u2019 Right, so I come out and I\u2019m like this with my hands up and my rib was wide open. You hit me in the rib and I was like, \u2018F**k that\u2019s it, I\u2019m putting my hands down.\u2019 You popped it right away.\u201d The BKFC star was, however, proud of his performance and the fact he stayed in the bout despite the injury. \u201cI fought through it I mean there\u2019s something, there\u2019s pieces I can take that I can be proud of but you know, I think it was fair and square,\u201d he applauded. \u201cI had a moment or two in the third round where I was able to get you a bit and you were even bleeding.\u201d Jake Paul is now looking ahead towards his long-awaited bout against Mike Tyson on November 15. Their fight was originally scheduled for July 20, the date of the Perry match, but it was postponed after \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 suffered an ulcer flare-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
