BKFC's Mike Perry says he lasted just as long as Mike Tyson did against Jake Paul.
Six months ago, Tyson, the former heavyweight champion, was scheduled to box Paul over the summer, but an ulcer flare-up pushed the fight back to November. Tyson took his time to recover, and "Platinum" Perry seized the opportunity of a lifetime in a short-notice payday vs. Paul.
In the months that followed, Mike Tyson, at 58, was able to withstand Paul for eight two-minute rounds, somehow making it the distance without being knocked down like Paul's previous eleven opponents in the ring. "I'm just ready to get back in there and show the world after all the bulls*** they're speaking," Perry told The Schmo of the disrespect post-Paul fight. "You know what I'm capable of in a great matchup, one of my preferred weight classes and bare knuckle. It's the toughest of the tough..."Perry is currently 5-0 in the BKFC, with his durability and grit unmatched so far in his post-UFC career.
