The fight will take place at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

The cancellation of Jake Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson scheduled for July 20 did not upset the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s schedule.

He has kept his plans to step into the ring on the same date, although he found a new opponent to fulfill the commitment ahead of his fight with ‘Iron Mike’ on November 15.

His next opponent will be Mike Perry, former UFC fighter and current Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), with whom he will clash in an eight-round bout to be held at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

“He is a proven knockout artist who has proven to be a maniac in and out of the ring. This is the perfect experience for me before I face Mike Tyson. But getting that experience comes with risks. Those who know me know I’m a risk taker and while ‘Platinum’ Perry might try to take me down, I’m Titanium Jake Paul and I’m not afraid of anyone,” Paul stated in an interview with ESPN about his decision to find the ideal opponent for a fight while stepping into the ring with Mike Tyson.

For his part, Perry had long called for a fight against Paul and during an appearance on TMZ Sports television show revealed the intense rivalry he has with the YouTuber.

“We’ve never been friends. He’s never been good to me, he wanted to beat me up, and he’s a sneaky little snake, and I’m going to f*** him up by pulling his teeth out of his mouth. F*** ’em. F*** you, Jake. I’m going to break your face, b****.”

Lennox Lewis has been giving his views on the upcoming fight between his old foe Mike Tyson and young YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul.

This controversial bout was originally set for July but Tyson had an ulcer flare-up that delayed it until November 15. The officially sanctioned fight will last for eight two-minute rounds with no headgear and will count on both men’s pro records.

‘Iron’ Mike hasn’t fought professionally for over 20 years since he ended his career with a pair of defeats, while Paul stopped his last opponent Ryan Bourland in the first round and is on a mission to prove himself in the sport.

Speaking to FX 29 Philadelphia, Lewis admitted he would be watching the fight.

“Yeh course, you never know what’s going to pop up. I’m happy for them, they’re going to make a good bag, a lot of kids love Jake Paul, a lot of kids love Tyson, they want to see what’s going to happen in the ring to both of them. Me too.

He was then asked if he was siding with Tyson.

“Mike Tyson is going to win. Mike Tyson is not that old. Don’t take him too softly.”

At 57 and as a former world champion, the host wondered if Lewis still had the level of skills to fight someone like Paul.

“No. You got to look at the age. You can probably fight somebody like that and do well cause they’re not a true fighter and there’s a 100 things you’ve forgotten that he’s learning. Age will be a determining favour if the fight goes too long. But if Mike comes with a 10-second combination and catches him, he’s 100% [going down]’”

Before news broke that it wouldn’t be just an exhibition fight, Lewis was originally pleased as he didn’t want Paul ‘to get hurt’.

“I’m glad otherwise I would feel really bad for Jake Paul, I don’t want him to get hurt”

That the fight is happening at all is a surprise given Tyson once said he would never fight the YouTuber.
