Jake Paul advised to CANCEL Tommy Fury fight and replace him with new opponent

UFC legend Chael Sonnen has told Jake Paul he should cancel yet another fight with Tommy Fury and bring in MMA star Mike Perry - before it's too late.

Perry is the back-up opponent should Fury pull out of their meeting for a third time, and has been sent out on a number of media calls to help promote the event. The Brit has already pulled out of two fights with Paul in the past, and has twice skipped major media obligations in the build-up to this one.

He skipped yesterday's official launch press conference in Riyadh, after previously opting out of speaking to the media after Anthony Yarde vs Artur Beterbiev in London. He had attended a small media day and faced off with Paul prior to the bout, but didn't stick around post-fight for a press conference and head-to-head interview with Josh Denzel.
