The highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry boxing event continues to gain momentum with the addition of another big name in the MMA world, as Most Valuable Promotions has announced six new bouts for the July 20 card at Amalie Arena.
Perry will be filling in for Mike Tyson, who was forced to postpone his bout with Paul due to a worsening ulcer, but Paul managed to secure a date, with a different bout scheduled on the undercard to what was supposed to be the first Netflix live combat sports show.
If both Paul Serrano and Amanda Serrano win in July, the main and co-main events of the Netflix card are expected to remain the same.
