We asked AI who'd win the Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry fight (and it picked a winner that'll surprise the fans)
The Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry boxing match is all set to go down at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, USA, on July 20, 2024. Google's AI Gemini has given its prediction for the much-awaited Paul-Perry fight.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has amassed a professional boxing record of nine victories and one defeat. The PFL MMA signee is yet to make his MMA debut but has consistently maintained that he will compete in the sport someday. Thus far, he's primarily focused on his boxing career.
Meanwhile, former UFC welterweight Mike Perry boasts a professional boxing record of zero wins and one loss. He boasts a Triad Combat record of 1-0, a bare-knuckle boxing record of 5-0, and a professional MMA record of 14-8.
The AI predicted that Paul would likely emerge victorious in the match against Perry. The three primary reasons it gave were 'The Problem Child's' superior physicality, training camp, and boxing experience.
The prediction further suggested that Paul has a more refined style of pugilism, has devoted more time to the craft of boxing, and has a better record in the sport. Additionally, alluding to Paul being a multi-millionaire, it was highlighted that he makes considerable investments in his training camps and ropes in experienced boxing sparring partners and trainers.
In the physical aspect, Perry's legendary toughness was acknowledged. Nevertheless, it was noted that Paul has showcased greater pugilistic power, speed, and fundamentals in his past appearances inside the squared circle.

While Paul was picked as the favorite to win, it was clarified that anything's possible in a fight. It was implied that Perry's unpredictable style and toughness could help him upset his more experienced boxing opponent.
Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry: 'Platinum' alludes to his toughness, 'The Problem Child' responds
The Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry July 20 showdown replaced a previously booked fight between Paul and 58-year-old former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. The legendary Tyson was to box Paul in a heavyweight boxing matchup on July 20, but Tyson's health issues led to their fight being postponed to Nov. 15, 2024.
With the Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry cruiserweight boxing match booked as the new headliner for the July 20 boxing event, they spoke over a video call on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani last month (June 2024).
'Platinum' referenced a famous Mike Tyson quote of everyone having a plan until they get punched in the face. Perry added that he likes getting punched in the face, alluding to his otherworldly toughness.
Paul responded by directing epithets at Perry. The influencer then opined that he doesn't like getting hit in the face and trains to avoid getting hit, which is what he claims he'll teach the former UFC star in their boxing match.
