Eddie Hearn isn’t familiar with Mike Perry, but from what he knows, it’s going to be a long night for the BKFC star when he boxes Jake Paul on July 20.
Perry is used to having doubters. The power-puncher had several memorable moments as a member of the UFC’s welterweight roster, but never saw substantial success, eventually parting ways with the promotion in 2021 with a 7-8 record. Few could have guessed that the end of his UFC run would mark the beginning of his rise in combat sports.
