Entertainer turned professional boxer Jake Paul has shot onto the boxing scene in recent years but now puts it all on the line.
Paul has defied both expectations from those within boxing and even those outside of the sport.
Met with a heck of a lot of hostility initially, Paul has started to win a little bit of respect over more recently, specifically.
Speaking to DAZN Jake Paul said his fight this weekend against Perry is biggest risk of his career:
“This whole entire thing is a giant risk. You could lose the biggest pay day and biggest fight of your career with Mike Tyson. If you lose to Mike Perry. I fear no man. I’m ready anytime, any place, anyone. People think I’m crazy but like, I’m always crazy, until I’m not.”
Paul has shown some good movement, punching power, head movement, speed and of course a devastating uppercut knockout not too long ago.
He was beaten by Tommy Fury in a close fight on points but overall, Paul is improving both technically as a boxer.

If he scores a big win this weekend it doesn’t prove a whole lot boxing-wise as a pro but it does keep the show going for Tyson in November.
Perry is no slouch and a big hit in professional bareknuckle boxing, so will make it a scrap.
