UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira has given verbal consent to Jake Paul's offer to fight him under the boxing rules.
Recall that Paul, after his win over Mike Perry, challenged Pereira to accept a fight with him. The Brazilian called him on FaceTime and said: ‘Let's go!’
Pereira last entered the octagon in June 2024 at UFC 303, defeating Jiri Proсhazka by technical knockout in the second round. He has 11 wins and two losses on his record.
