Paul, aiming for his tenth professional win, believes Perry won't last beyond three rounds. "My official prediction for the fight, three rounds or less. I'm calling it now,

these guys can't hang with me. Nobody has been able to see my skill for the past year, I've had new coaches and my development has been amazing," Paul declared on his YouTube

channel. He added: "I'm excited to put on a performance and get this knockout. These are the positions that I like to put myself in and feel like I have to put myself in to get

better under the lights." The fight, now scheduled for November 15th, sees Paul face Perry, a former UFC fighter, who replaced Tyson following his withdrawal due to health reasons. Paul

acknowledged taking a risk by fighting Perry, as a loss could impact his future bout with Tyson. Despite Perry's five-fight unbeaten streak in bare-knuckle boxing, Paul remains

confident, stating that his recent training and coaching have significantly improved his skills. Paul's decision to fight Perry stems from a desire for more experience before facing

Tyson, despite initially declining the offer. "Why not gain more experience against another notorious known killer? Mike Perry the bare-knuckle legend, the man that can't be

knocked out, the vicious and violent brawler. This guy is a ------- lunatic, he's undefeated in bare-knuckle which is probably the craziest sport in the world," the fighter

explained. He added: "This fight has been brewing for years, Mike Perry has been talking ---- to me for years non-stop and I do think this guy is funny. I like his ---- talk and I think

this fight is going to bring some really entertaining stuff but it is a major risk. I'm potentially sacrificing the biggest moment and payday of my career if I lose to Mike

Perry." For his part, Paul is taking his fight with Perry seriously, bulking up to match his upcoming opponent. Paul's new physique has alarmed his fans however, with some worried

that the YouTuber-turned-boxer might be using unnatural means to prepare for his fight. Still, Paul said it is all part of his plan to fight Tyson at the end of the year. "Yeah,

there's definitely slightly more power but I think the biggest thing is inside fighting and clinches, not getting pushed around by some of these heavier heavyweights," Paul told

TMZ Sports at the time. "But definitely when I'm jogging, I'm so much slower. I feel like a rhino or something - it's definitely a lot harder to jog." Paul added on

the "BS Podcast," that he will continue bulking up before coming down to a suitable weight to help him improve his fitness. "I'm only growing. I think I'll get up to

240 and probably cut down so I'm like way faster," he said as he prepared to fight Tyson. "But if I'm training for this camp - and camp hasn't started - but if

I'm training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it's basically like I had a 20lbs weight vest on for the whole entire camp. So my muscles are going to be so much

stronger and that speed will come through." * THIS ARTICLE WAS CRAFTED WITH THE HELP OF AI TOOLS, WHICH SPEED UP THE DAILY EXPRESS EDITORIAL RESEARCH. A DAILY EXPRESS EDITOR REVIEWED
