Originally, Mike Tyson was slated to fight Jake Paul at the 80,000-seat Dallas Cowboys Stadium, with the event set to stream live on Netflix on July 20. However, the match was postponed due to Tyson experiencing health issues while on a flight. The fight has now been rescheduled for November 15.

Perry, a standout in BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) in the U.S., boasted a five-fight winning streak. However, Perry was at a size disadvantage against Paul and was quickly knocked down in the first round by a powerful right hand.
Jake Paul swiftly took control of the match with accurate jab punches, knocking Perry to the canvas just 30 seconds into the second round. Perry responded in the third round, opening a cut above Paul’s left eye. Nonetheless, from the fourth round onward, Paul continued to press aggressively, repeatedly pinning Perry into the corner and ultimately winning in the sixth round when the referee stopped the fight.
