Mike Perry is an MMA fighter and professional bareknuckle boxer.
This continues the theme of Paul choosing fighters from other combat sports like MMA and professional bareknuckle boxing.
32-year-old American Perry fought in the UFC for a long time and although not a champion, had some good success there.
He had two fight of the nights and two performance of the nights bonuses with the mammoth organization.
In recent years its been about bareknuckle boxing for Perry and Paul has handpicked him, in his estimation, as what he thinks is an easy touch in a professional boxing match.
Not only that, Paul’s been up to a lot lately.
Outside of offering Muhammad Ali’s grandson Nico Ali Walsh millions of dollars to fight him in pro boxing which Walsh rejected, Paul the promoter is working away too.
MVP, Most Valuable Promotions, will again stage Paul’s next fight against Perry in Tampa, Florida.
Paul continues as a professional boxer and more and more seemingly as a promoter.
