Paul is an American internet personality, turned boxing fighter, with a 9-1 pro boxing record. He has been a pioneer in the new era of influencer boxing where famous internet celebrities compete in the ring. He is coming off two first-round wins over low-level professional boxers to build his credibility in the ring.
After training for a massive super fight with Mike Tyson, the fight was canceled due to Tyson’s health. Perry has stepped up to fight on the same date and will still be a massive event.

He was the 2023 Male Fighter of the Year in BKFC and won the King of Violence Championship against the legendary Eddie Alvarez. He also has experience competing 15 times against the best MMA fighters in the world in the UFC.

AI Betting Picks
Over/Under – O 6.5 rounds
Moneyline – Mike Perry (+270)
A lot of people have lost money on Jake Paul fights over the years–mostly frustrated fans watching this former Disney Channel star and Youtuber defeat legends from the MMA world.
The truth is that Paul is a smart kid who knows what he’s doing while constructing his career in the ring. He has only fought the guys who have the biggest name possible while also keeping an advantage in the fight; whether that’s age, size, or skill.
This time around, Perry is going to give Paul potentially his hardest fight yet. He won’t be scared to pull the trigger, he will be walking the inexperienced boxer down for all 8 rounds and look to take his head off.
From a technical boxing skill standpoint, Paul may have the advantage. Longer arms and more time in a boxing training camp, but Perry is just a natural fighter. He also boxes and spars as if he were boxing for his BKFC career.
Even though you may have lost money on Paul in the past, it’s not time to bet on him at -370 at this point. Perry is the perfect underdog bet for this weekend as he can expose Paul in the ring. The conditioning and defense while backing up will be a big question in this one.
Paul is an elite athlete, though, and it’s possible he schools Perry.
The over-total rounds is a great bet as well as both athletes are very tough and will be in shape to go 8 rounds.
