In a wild incident backstage at a boxing event, a TikToker learned the hard way that it’s never a good idea to provoke the former UFC fighter Mike “Platinum” Perry.
The incident occurred on Friday in Tampa, Florida, as Perry was preparing for his upcoming showdown against YouTube star Jake Paul. While backstage, the TikToker, described as an “annoying influencer,” began harassing Perry, constantly insisting that Paul would emerge victorious in their bout.
According to the news source, Perry, who is known for his fiery temper, initially shoved the TikToker away from him, surprising onlookers by not escalating the situation further. However, the TikToker continued to run his mouth, prompting security to rush in and attempt to separate the two.
During the commotion, the news report states that the TikToker “seemed to spray a can of [something] in Perry’s direction.” Fortunately for the TikToker, he managed to escape the encounter unscathed, narrowly avoiding what could have been a severe beating at the hands of the former UFC fighter.
Perry, who is gearing up for his high-profile clash with Jake Paul this weekend, has a well-documented history of being quick to engage in physical confrontations. The TikToker was “lucky to be alive” after provoking the notoriously volatile Perry.
