Preparing for Mike Tyson only for the boxing legend to be injured, forced Jake Paul and his team to pivot in training for replacement Mike Perry.
In DAZN's new "Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry | MVP Uncut: Episode 2," Paul's coach J'Leon Love takes fans behind the process of changing plans and trying to simulate Perry's brawling style toward their boxing match Saturday night, live on DAZN.
"We got to do some quick adjustments, bring in the right sparring to mimic Mike Perry or at least give us a look of Mike Perry," Love says on MVP Uncut. "He's a hard guy to go find guys to get [to simulate his style]. He's a brawler type of guy."
That said, Love believes Paul handled the change well.
"But the transition was not hard at all, man," Love continued. "Jake is not your ordinary guy. He has a brain that's very savvy, catches on to, learns quick."
He added that Paul's team will be able to adapt to anything that "Platinum" surprises them with Saturday night in the ring.
"He makes adjustments," Love added about Paul. "If Mike does something that can be successful for him, we know how to adjust really quick to take it away."
Paul is 9-1 with 6 knockouts to his boxing ledger, while Perry is 0-1 but has over a decade of experience fighting in mixed martial arts and bare-knuckle bouts.
