JAKE PAUL has been warned he has “made a mistake” by having Mike Perry as the backup replacement for his fight with Tommy Fury.
Celebrity boxing rivals Paul and Fury announced the latest rescheduling of their grudge match, on February 26 in Saudi Arabia.

But it is the THIRD time the pair will attempt settle their score in the ring following a pair of previous pullouts.
Fury was forced to withdraw due to a rib injury in December 2021 and then amid a US visa issue last August.
So Paul has come prepared this time by placing ex-UFC welterweight-turned bare-knuckle boxer Perry on standby.
And Perry’s sparring partner – karate combat star Samuel Ericsson – says the YouTuber better hope Fury makes it this time.
Ericsson said: “I think Jake Paul has made a mistake putting Mike Perry on standby for if Tommy Fury drops out.
“Because I am positive Mike will knock him out. He doesn’t care about anyone’s hype and he’s just too tough.
“He’s also got a really intelligent fighting mind. Look at his BKFC fight with Michael Venom Page.
“Everyone was predicting that Page would pick him apart and be too clever for him, plus Mike was the smaller guy in the fight.

“But in the fight Mike not only overwhelmed him with aggression but was also the one setting traps and tricks.
“Look what Page has done to people and then look at how Mike outboxed him.
“So I think Jake Paul is biting off more than he can chew here, but I do respect Jake’s willingness to step up and take challenges like this.”
Swede Ericsson, who knocked out Tarek Khelifi in the karate combat pit in December, has been sparring with Perry recently.
The American was considered as an alternative for Paul, 26, when talks with Fury, 23, dragged on.
But Perry, 31, will instead be patiently waiting after it was confirmed he was the substitute opponent.
Paul said: “We have Mike Perry on standby. Let’s go Mike Perry. He’s ready to jump in if Tommy pulls out.”
