Popular American blogger and professional boxer Jake Paul after his victory over BKFC fighter Mike Perry challenged UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira to a fight.
Recall that Paul knocked out Perry in the sixth round on July 21 at the tournament in Tampa (USA).
Paul said after his fight with Mike Perry:
Alex Pereria, you said you want to box and I'm the king of this so come over, we can make it happen. I want you, Alex Pereria. I just beat a BKFC champion, I've beat multiple UFC champions and he said he wants to box so Alex Pereria, after Mike Tyson let's make it happen.
Paul's previous fight was against Ryan Bourland in March this year. In this fight Jake won by technical knockout in the first round. He has ten wins (six by knockout) and one loss in professional boxing.
Pereira last stepped into the octagon in June 2024 at UFC 303, defeating Jiri Prochazka by TKO in the second round. He has 11 wins and two losses on his record.
