During his press conference for his fight against Mike Perry, former influencer Jake Paul targeted UFC legend Conor McGregor and other MMA fighters.
Jake Paul’s upcoming fight against Mike Perry has been rescheduled for July 20. Initially, the match was supposed to be against renowned boxer Mike Tyson, but it was postponed due to an ulcer flare-up experienced by ‘Iron Mike’.
A press conference was held on July 18 by ‘The Problem Child’ and Mike Perry to promote their upcoming battle. Things took a personal turn when the 5-0 bare-knuckle fighter vowed to showcase the abilities of a true fighter in the world of boxing.
“Jake hurled out, “You’re not the first one to make such claims.”Every individual who has faced me in these identical seats has uttered the same words, “I’m going to defeat you, I’ll give you a real challenge.”Save your breath!”
The segment starts at 33:58.
Paul proceeded to insult every MMA fighter, referring to them all as “cowards”who “lack boxing skills.”
Jake has never been defeated in his career when boxing against UFC legends. He has emerged victorious against the likes of Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, and numerous other opponents.
“He slammed, “You and McGregor are both b*tches who will never step into the ring with me for an MMA fight.”
Just one day after McGregor called Paul a “little dweeb of a thing”at a BKFC press conference, Jake responded with his own comments. Despite multiple challenges to fight Paul, Conor has not yet accepted. He is currently scheduled to return to the octagon against Michael Chandler, although a date has not been confirmed.

Host Ariel Helwani proceeded to inquire if Paul and Perry would be open to a rematch in MMA, to which both enthusiastically confirmed. However, until a contract is officially confirmed, it is best to approach the rumors of an MMA rematch with caution.
It has been cautioned by Jake Paul that his highly anticipated match against Mike Tyson, originally planned for November, may be in jeopardy if he is defeated by Perry. As a result, there is a considerable amount at stake for Paul in the upcoming July 20 event.
