MMA pro Mike Perry calls out Jake Paul for \u201cmoney fight\u201d after BKFC 27 victory IG: MikePlatinumPerry \/ JakePaulAmerican mixed-martial artist Mike Perry has called out YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul after defeating Michael \u2018Venom\u2019 Page at BKFC 27 in London. The explosion of the internet fighting scene has taken many by surprise. Since Joe Weller and KSI settled their differences in the ring back in 2018, millions of audience members have tuned in to see fighters as varied as Floyd Mayweather and Austin McBroom get into the ring. It is now affecting the professional world of combat sports, with a host of MMA and boxing stars keen to get involved to earn their piece of the lucrative pie. That rang true again on August 20, when Jake Paul was challenged to a bout by a fighter at BKFC 27 in London. MMA pro Mike Perry calls out Jake Paul at BKFC 27 The fighter in question, Mike Perry, was fresh off the back of a victorious bout with Michael \u2018Venom\u2019 Page. A tight fight at London\u2019s BKFC 27 saw Perry beat out \u2018MVP\u2019, ending the bout with a broken jaw but, most importantly, the victory via a majority decision. In his post-match interview, he quickly turned his attention to his next fight and claimed that he constitutes a \u201cmoney fight\u201d for Jake Paul. \u201c[Let me] call out real quick,\u201d he said while being interviewed in the ring. \u201cJake Paul you need an opponent! You need a money fight, I\u2019m the real money fight. Maybe I\u2019ll put the pillows back on if you\u2019re scared to get in here.\u201d The crowd in London appeared to endorse the challenge, with widespread cheers audible as Perry threw down the proverbial gauntlet. At the time of writing, Jake Paul has not responded to Perry\u2019s challenge but, given his history in the ring with Tyron Woodley, he\u2019s not shown fear of fighting MMA fighters in the past. He has, though, made clear his wishes to fight KSI, who will take on Swarmz and Luis Pineda on August 27. Whether Perry fits in before or after that proposed fight is another matter, but there\u2019s no shortage of options on the table for Jake moving forwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
