Mike Perry was the last man to fight Jake Paul inside a boxing ring.
They squared off at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida back in July, with Paul claiming a sixth round stoppage win after Perry was dropped in rounds one, two and six.
The Youtuber-turned-boxer now has the biggest fight of his career so far when he faces heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson this Friday at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and it will be streamed live on Netflix.
Paul and Tyson were originally set to meet earlier this year before ‘Iron Mike’ had to postpone the contest after an ulcer flare up, leading to Perry stepping in on short notice for that fight in July.
The former UFC star had previously predicted that Paul would defeat Tyson, but he has now had a change of heart when giving his latest prediction to Tim Welch.
“I’m rooting for Mike Tyson. I think he looks incredible and sounds really smart. He sounds like his mind is on the right path as far as winning a fight goes. I think his talent is one of a kind.
Jake has done really well and has a great team around him but I don’t know if he’s bit off more than he can chew. I’m rooting towards Mike Tyson.”
Perry found out first hand just how powerful Paul is when they had their clash earlier this year, and the mixed martial artist has given his verdict on just how hard his former rival hits.
