Bare-knuckle boxer shares Jake Paul contract but claims YouTuber won't fight

Jake Paul Mike Perry UFC Donald Cerrone

Mike Perry has shared a contract he signed to fight Jake Paul next month, but has accused the YouTuber of not holding up his end of the deal.

Former UFC star turned bare-knuckle boxer Perry, 31, shared the contract on his Twitter account which showed a bout agreement to face Paul at 185lb on February 18. A location and venue for the fight were not included in the bout agreement. Perry captioned the post "Wya", which is short for "where you at", and went on to write: "I signed a contract to fight Jake Paul but he changed his mind."

"I fought a 27-3 pro boxer, I am currently 3-0 in the last two years as a boxer," he wrote. "I am a boxer and can beat any boxer/fighter at 175-185. Give me a real boxing match and I prove it. Cuz we know they not stepping in Bare Knuckle FC with me. ASAP too." Perry is a combat sports veteran who has competed in boxing, bare-knuckle boxing and the UFC.
