Mike Perry’s pre-fight open workout took an unexpected and hilarious turn. The former Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter decided to throw hands with an unlikely opponent: Jake Paul’s mascot. The incident occurred during Perry’s preparation for his upcoming boxing match against Paul.
The mascot, representing Paul’s personal care product line “W,” crashed Perry’s workout session. Unsurprisingly, they soon found themselves on the receiving end of Perry’s blows. The fighter pushed back the yellow-colored mascot and decided to throw a shot to the body that was enough to send them crashing to the canvas in a comedic manner before being saved by the security personnel at the event.
The video of the altercation quickly went viral on social media. Perry, known for his no-nonsense attitude, seemed unfazed by the incident.
As of now, the condition of the person inside the mascot costume remains unknown. Perry and Jake Paul are set to fight on July 20th at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. Perry stepped up after Mike Tyson had to withdraw from the fight because of complications from ulcers.
