Jake Paul vs Mike Perry LIVE: Boxing result and reaction as Mike Tyson responds to knockout
Paul dispatched the former UFC star before challenging a UFC champion and providing an update on the Tyson fight
Jake Paul produced a fine performance to stop Mike Perry in the sixth round, as the YouTuber remained sharp and banked another brutal knockout to set up a fight with Mike Tyson.
Paul, 27, now 10-1 as a boxer, was due to box Tyson, 58, this evening, but the heavyweight legend suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight in May.
But an impressive display here, down at cruiserweight, saw Paul drop “Platinum” Perry three times in six energy-sapping rounds, confirming the rearranged bout with boxing legend Tyson in November on Netflix.
Paul also took the opportunity to call out UFC champion Alex Pereira after the fight, although the prospect of a future meeting remains unlikely given the Brazilian’s contractual situation and UFC boss Dana White’s previous reluctance to allow his fighters to perform outside of the promotion.

Jake Paul vs Mike Perry: Amanda Serrano stops Stevie Morgan
Easy work!
Serrano has too much for Morgan, a barrage of shots and the knockout comes.
Katie Taylor is next and what a statement to set up that rematch.
The Irishwoman is not Morgan, but Serrano certainly has extra momentum now in her pursuit of revenge.
Jake Paul vs Mike Perry: Amanda Serrano lights up Stevie Morgan
Amanda Serrano is punch-perfect in that first round, Stevie Morgan is battered.
Bloodied already, this is a clinic from Serrano, putting her punches together.
Crisp, clean shots, an early knockout is in play here.
Jake Paul vs Mike Perry
WHAT A KO!
An absolutely wild turn of events, Lucas Bahdi has pulled off one of the knockouts of the year!
H20 Sylve was winning every second of this fight and the... BOOM! Face first, he goes to sleep.
It’s a sickening knockout and now we hope he is OK, worrying scenes as H20 Sylve lays motionless on the canvas. Extraordinary scenes.
It was a left hook, Bahdi leaned in with the chopping right and then whipped in the left. The right did plenty of damage and might have been enough, but H20 was totally defenceless before the crushing left landed on the button.
