Jake Paul has spoken out amid rumours he will fight a former UFC star, sending a message directly to his upcoming opponent Mike Tyson.

Paul and Tyson were set to clash on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, but a medical emergency pushed the fight back.

While on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, former heavyweight champion Tyson suffered an ulcer flare up that required medical attention.

While it was initially believed that this would not affect the fight, doctors recommended that the 57-year-old should reduce his training programme, leading to the fight being postponed to November 15.

And Paul has issued a response to the new date, assuring his fans that it won’t change his planned result.

Posting on X, he said: "I AM FIGHTING MIKE TYSON ON NETFLIX AND I WILL GET THE W."

But, Paul is still expected to fight next month, with reports suggesting that he will face former UFC welterweight Mike Perry on 20 July.

Perry left the UFC in October 2021, after his contract expired shortly after a unanimous decision loss to Daniel Rodriguez.

The 32-year-old had 15 fights with the organisation, winning seven of them.

He then signed a multi-fight deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where he is unbeaten in five fights, with wins over Eddie Alvarez, Luke Rockhold and Micheal Page.

Perry has become one of the biggest stars in the organisation, which recently welcomed Conor McGregor as a part owner, and with his previous three wins coming by technical knockout, fans can expect an exciting fight next month.

'Platinum’ will be hoping to get his first professional boxing win after losing his only pro boxing bout to Kenneth McNeil in March 2015.
