Replacement for Tyson. Jake Paul has announced the name of his next opponent

Boxer and YouTuber Jake Paul has announced his new opponent for the boxing event on July 20, replacing Mike Tyson.

Paul confirmed on his social media platform X that he will face Mike Perry (0-1), a former UFC fighter who transitioned to bare-knuckle boxing.

Initially, Jake Paul was set to fight Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in the main event to be broadcast on Netflix.

However, the anticipated bout with "Iron Mike" has been postponed due to health complications for the boxing legend. The new date for the Tyson-Paul fight is November 15, with the venue remaining unchanged.

Let us recall that in 2020, Jake Paul began competing in boxing matches, following in the footsteps of his brother Logan. In his debut bout, Paul defeated fellow YouTuber Ali Eson Gib by knockout.

In December, Paul knocked out Andre Agassi in the first round.
