The fight takes place on Saturday.

The build-up is almost at fever pitch in Tampa where Jake Paul will face Mike Perry live on DAZN

The two fighters meet on Saturday night with Paul looking to build on his first round knockout win over Ryan Bourland in March. 

Perry will be featuring in just his second professional boxing match and will be looking to disrupt "The Problem Child's" preparations ahead of facing Mike Tyson later this year. 

Paul is being billed as a huge favourite for this contest, and his sparring partner, Vladimir Shishkin, is expecting a quick finish from the YouTuber turned boxer. 

“Perry is nothing more than a warm-up fight before Jake faces Mike Tyson," Shishkin told Genting Casino

"I know Perry is a tough guy, but he won't make it out of the second round. From what I've seen from Jake Paul in the gym, the knockout will come in the first or second round, he's very heavy handed. 

“Once he knocks out Perry I really believe he will then knock out Mike Tyson because Tyson won't have timing or distance and also because of his age. Jake already has the plan to beat Tyson and he's ready.

"We are no longer in Mike Tyson's generation, Jake Paul is the new generation of fighters who can box but also understand business.”
