In a heated moment during open workout, former UFC star Mike Perry took a swing at a mascot representing one of Jake Paul’s personal care product lines. The incident occurred in Tampa, Florida, where the two combatants are set to headline a boxing event this Saturday.
The W mascot, which advertises Paul’s brand that includes antiperspirant deodorant and body wash, crashed Perry’s workout session, leading to a confrontation between the two. “Perry threw a few punches at the mascot and dropped him before security personnel intervened,” according to the report.
Tensions have been building between Perry and Paul ahead of their highly anticipated boxing match. The two had a heated face-to-face interview earlier this week, and the fight is expected to be one of the biggest sporting events of the summer.
Perry, who is looking to earn his first professional boxing win, has become a superstar in the world of bare-knuckle fighting since parting ways with the UFC. He has earned victories against former UFC champions Luke Rockhold and Eddie Alvarez.
Meanwhile, Paul is aiming to continue his momentum after three consecutive wins, with his most recent victory coming against Ryan Bourland in March. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has quickly become a polarizing figure in the combat sports world, and his clash with Perry is sure to attract significant attention.
As of now, it remains uncertain whether the person inside the mascot costume was injured during the altercation. Perry has not yet addressed the incident publicly.
With both fighters bringing their own unique styles and backgrounds to the table, the boxing match between Mike Perry and Jake Paul promises to be an exciting and unpredictable affair. Fans and observers alike are eagerly anticipating the showdown, which is set to take place this Saturday in Tampa, Florida.
