Mike Perry, the bare-knuckle brawler with a penchant for controversy, recently found himself in hot water once again. The BKFC middleweight champ had a run-in with the law that left fans shaking their heads. He was caught speeding late at night, and the officer suspected Perry was under the influence of alcohol.
TMZ got their hands on the bodycam footage, and Mike Perry’s vocabulary would make a sailor blush. As the video made its rounds on social media, ‘Platinum‘ realized he had stepped into it, big time. So, he did what any self-respecting fighter would do – he apologized to his fans and the police department on X.
“I am writing this to express my deepest apologies for the inappropriate and disrespectful language I used towards members of the Clermont police department. I understand that my words were hurtful and offensive, and I sincerely regret my actions.”
Perry had refused to admit he had been drinking. The police, however, weren’t buying it. They noted his slurred speech and the unmistakable smell of booze. Perry’s resistance to signing a citation didn’t help his case. Before he knew it, he was sporting some shiny new bracelets—the kind that goes “click-click.”
Mike Perry has got some fences to mend. A $1500 fine is the least of his worries. He needs to rebuild trust with fans, promoters, and law enforcement alike. This whole debacle serves as a reminder that even tough guys need to watch their step outside the ring.
