Tonight at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, USA, a boxing event took place, headlined by the bout between American YouTuber and showman Jake Paul and his compatriot, former UFC star and current BKFC fighter, Mike Perry.
The fight was very intense, with both boxers hitting the canvas, but Paul knocked Perry down three times. After the final knockdown in the sixth round, the referee stopped the fight, awarding Paul his tenth career victory, seven of which have come by knockout.
However, just an hour before the match, the fight was almost called off. A bizarre video leaked from Jake Paul's locker room showing an unexpected incident. As the athlete was preparing for the fight, his arm... fell off!
This chaos in the locker room caused a complete uproar. While Paul was panicking, his trainer approached to calm him down. The police arrived immediately and apprehended the culprit. Alongside the police were service chickens, and then a fire broke out in the locker room, which was extinguished by a giraffe.
Jake Paul's participation in the fight was in question.
Of course, this was Paul's way of generating buzz for the fight. Known for his humorous videos online, he couldn't let this event pass without a stunt.
Paul's showmanship didn't end there; instead of a conventional ring walk, he entered the arena on a chariot, dressed as a gladiator.
