Mike Perry‘s the face of BKFC … so, we requested Platinum, what’s your dream bare-knuckle struggle?!

His reply … “Jake Paul!”

32-year-old Perry sat down with Babcock on the “TMZ Sports” TV present (airs weeknights on FS1) from the TMZ workplace this week after we requested him who resided on the high of his hit listing.

“Jake Paul, man,” Mike mentioned … “If he hurts Mike Tyson, bro, let me get that, bro.”

Perry’s an enormous fan of Iron Mike Tyson, BTW … and clearly stands able to get some payback if The Downside Baby hurts Tyson throughout their July twentieth scrap at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

Perry and Paul — 9-1 as a professional boxer — have some historical past. Mike briefly served as a sparring companion for Jake in 2021 earlier than his struggle with Ben Askren (Jake knocked out the retired MMA star). Suffice it to say, the boys have completely different views on who acquired one of the best of the opposite.

However, earlier than we begin dreaming of a Perry vs. Paul mega struggle, Mike has his gloveless palms full with Thiago Alves … the fight sports activities vet he is set to scrap with at Knucklemania 4 on April 27 on the Peacock Theater.

Perry, who might properly have been made for bare-knuckle boxing, is 4-0 within the promotion … with wins over Eddie Alvarez, Julian Lane, Michael Venom Web page, and Luke Rockhold.

Mike says he plans to point out up subsequent month in an much more harmful kind … a scary proposition.
