Jake Paul Sets His Sights on an Ambitious 2025 MMA Debut Following His Anticipated Boxing Match Against Mike Perry
Jake Paul has been a significant disruptor in the world of combat sports, transitioning from YouTube fame to professional boxing with a series of high-profile matches against both traditional boxers and former UFC fighters. His journey began in 2018 with a bout against fellow YouTuber Deji Olatunj, followed by his professional debut against AnEsonGib in 2020.
Since then, Paul has amassed a string of victories, defeating notable opponents such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (twice), Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz. However, his sole professional loss came against boxer Tommy Fury, highlighting ongoing debates about the level of competition he faces.
Criticism has often been directed at Paul for choosing opponents from MMA backgrounds who are either retired or no longer with the UFC, rather than seasoned boxers. Despite this, Paul has expressed confidence in his abilities across combat sports, even suggesting a potential move into MMA. His manager, Nakisa Bidarian, recently hinted at this possibility, suggesting that an MMA debut could be on the horizon depending on the success and reception of his upcoming fights.
Speaking of which, Paul is scheduled to face former UFC fighter Mike Perry on July 20, 2024, following a postponement of his planned match against boxing legend Mike Tyson due to Tyson’s health concerns. Perry, known for his striking prowess and undefeated record in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), adds intrigue to their upcoming bout.
Looking ahead, Bidarian mentioned plans for Paul’s potential MMA debut in 2025, contingent upon various factors aligning. Despite controversies and critiques, Jake Paul continues to draw attention and reshape expectations in both boxing and potentially MMA, making headlines with each new challenge he undertakes
