The biggest fight this weekend is one that probably wasn’t on many radars a few months ago.
But Saturday in Tampa, Fla., YouTube influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul will fight former UFC brawler Mike Perry in a boxing match on DAZN pay-per-view.
The fight is scheduled for 200 pounds and comes a few months before Paul is set to box Mike Tyson. He booked the fight with Perry when Tyson had to postpone. Perry in recent months has become a champion for BKFC on the bareknuckle side of things.
Friday, Paul needed to strip down to hit 200 pounds on the nose, but did it to become official. Perry was several pounds under at 196.6.
Check out videos from their trips to the scale below.
Mike Perry officially weighs in at 196.6lbs
Public weigh ins start TONIGHT at 6PM EST from Amalie Arena. This is the LAST TIME fighters will FACE OFF before FIGHT NIGHT tomorrow, Saturday, July 20
