Jake Paul is already thinking about his next MMA victim.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has amassed a 10-1 boxing record, defeating former UFC stars Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren.
On Saturday night, Mike Perry suffered the same fate as his former colleagues, being knocked down three times before losing to Paul by stoppage in the sixth round.
With this win, the former Disney actor has set up a highly controversial bout with boxing legend Mike Tyson, who hasn't fought professionally since 2005.
The 58-year-old was originally scheduled to face Paul tonight but the bout has been postponed until November 15th due to a recurrence of his ulcer.
Though his plans for 2024 are set, “The Problem Child” criticized UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira during a post-fight interview with veteran MMA reporter Ariel Helwani.
Paul said: “Mike Tyson, you're the next big boy. Coming to Netflix on November 15th. Can't wait.”
“Alex Pereira, you said you want to box? I'm the champion here. Come on, let's make it happen.”
“Alex Pereira, let's make it happen after Mike Tyson. The Mike Tyson fight will definitely happen on November 15th. Mike Tyson is training. He's back and crazier than ever.”
“I'm going to get another KO and prove everyone wrong.”
Shortly after, Paul was caught on camera receiving a FaceTime call from Pereira.
It is unclear at this time what was said, but it is likely that “Poitan” will not be afraid of the challenge, as he has a reputation for being able to fight anyone, anywhere, anytime and at any weight.
The 37-year-old recently stepped up to save UFC 303 at short notice.
Conor McGregor withdrew from the card and was replaced by Pereira, who easily defended his belt with a brutal knockout of former 205-pound champion Jiri Prochazka.
Earlier this month, boxing superstar Anthony Joshua urged Pereira to change sports, with the former kickboxer responding by asking AJ for some advice.
“I'm honored that you think so. It's been a dream of mine for a long time,” Pereira tweeted.
“I'm 37 years old and I can't make a career out of boxing, so who would you recommend I fight?”
Joshua responded: “The options are endless, champ. You could do something. Drop 258mgt on one line.”
Paul has emerged as a possible opponent for Pereira's debut.
UFC CEO Dana White is unlikely to sanction the bout because the Brazilian is under contract with him and has a long-standing feud with Paul.
If by some miracle they were to fight, Pereira could become the first MMA star to take on the fight with Paul being staked as the favorite to win.
