The highly anticipated boxing event between Jake Paul and Mike Perry is gaining momentum with the addition of another notable fighter from the MMA community. Six new matchups have been announced by the Most Valuable Promotions for the card that is scheduled to take place on July 20 at Amalie Arena. MMA fighter Perry replaced Mike Tyson, who had to postpone the fight with Paul due to ulcer. “The Problem Child” managed to save the date and the undercard now has different bouts for the event on Netflix.
Hall is excited to get back and compete
Recent additions to the card include former UFC fighter Uriah Hall, who is set to return to the boxing ring to face former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in a six-round cruiserweight bout. The Jamaican-American fighter expressed his excitement in a press release and stated that he is excited to get back to competing in the boxing ring on Saturday, July 20.
“I’m ready to challenge myself against a well-known boxer and former world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.,” said Hall.
Uriah Hall’s last appearance in the boxing ring was in October 2022, when he scored a unanimous decision win against former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell at the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva event.
Main card features many interesting matchups
The main card also features a bout between undefeated lightweights Ashton Sylve and Lucas Bahdi. Preliminary bouts include Shadasia Green vs. Edwin Rodriguez in the super bantamweight division. Alexis Chaparro vs. Kevin Hill and Ariel Perez vs. Dane Guerrero are the other two matchups.
