Mike Tyson to fight Jake Paul in November
Following his recovery, Boxing legend Mike Tyson is now scheduled to fight Jake Paul in November.
In the first and second rounds, Paul simply teed off on Perry, putting the BKFC superstar down on the canvas against an undersized opponent who provided very little defense.

Alex Pereira knocks out Jiri Prochazka with brutal head kick
Alex Pereira continued his dominance of the Light Heavyweight with a head-kick knock-out win against Jiri Prochazka in the main event of UFC 303.
Perry was still going back for more, even though his boxing expertise was significantly more about toughness than talent.
Perry persisted even though there were a few occasions when it appeared like the referee may halt it.

It took until the sixth round for Paul to finally knock the UFC veteran out cold, as he staggered Perry once more and launched a barrage of blows.
Perry stood up again before the ten count, but the bout was ruled off because of his stumble when the referee asked to see his balance.
Jake Paul calls out Alex Pereira ahead of Mike Tyson Fight
Naturally, Paul was supposed to fight the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion on Saturday night, but instead they are slated to square off in a boxing contest in November.
Due to health concerns, Tyson was unable to compete; nonetheless, the bout was rescheduled for November.

Even though it still tops his list of priorities, Paul also issued another statement, this time criticizing Alex Pereira, the current Light Heavyweight Champion.
He said, “Alex Pereira, you said you want to box, I’m the king of this.
“Come over, we can make it happen. I want you Alex Pereira. I just beat a BKFC champion.
"I beat multiple UFC champions. He said he wants to box. Alex Pereira, after Mike Tyson, let’s make it happen.”
Paul had to punish Perry severely before confronting Tyson and Pereira because Perry was almost too strong for his own good.
Paul said that although he struggled with a hand issue and a sickness on Saturday, he wasn't really at his best, but he still completed the task.

Although it appears improbable that he would be able to secure the Pereira bout with the Brazilian under a UFC deal, Paul needed to be aware of this before bringing up "Poatan" in his post-fight interview.
Though it's difficult to believe Paul's performance against Perry enhanced his reputation, it did keep him occupied as he won by knockout once more and is currently awaiting his matchup with Tyson in November.
