The Jake Paul vs Mike Perry bill is shaping up nicely.
Paul and Perry square off in an eight-round cruiserweight contest on July 20 after the postponement of ‘The Problem Child’s’ crossover clash with Mike Tyson until November 15.
Paul vs Perry’s undercard now has eight fights on it including six new ones
A couple of fighters, who were slated to box at the Paul-Tyson event have now been added to the undercard for his summer showdown with Perry at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Flordia.
The most high-profile fight is a cruiserweight bout between former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (53-6-1) and ex-UFC star Uriah Hall (1-0 boxing, 17-11 MMA).
Chavez Jr was expected to welcome Darren Till to the squared circle on the Tyson-Paul bill but that fight has since fallen by the wayside.
“I’m excited to return to the ring on Saturday, July 20, and I’m ready to re-establish myself as one of the best in this sport,” said Chavez Jr.
“I was the first Mexican middleweight champion in history and I’m ready to prove that I have it in me to become a champion again at cruiserweight.
“My return to the ring alongside these phenomenal fighters is an honour, and I plan to win by knockout.”
Elsewhere on the bill, Most Valuable Promotion’s young phenom Ashton ‘H20’ Sylve (11-0) will face the also undefeated Lucas ‘Prince’ Bahdi (16-0), who is ranked by the IBF and WBA at lightweight.
Sylve was supposed to box the ultra-talented Floyd Schofield but he has been forced out of the clash through injury.

“I’ve been training hard for a fight on Saturday, July 20, and I’m thrilled to still be able to get in the ring as originally planned,’” said Sylve.
“My opponent may have changed, but the result will be the same: I will get the W and continue my path to greatness.
“It’s an honor to be fighting alongside my MVP teammates another time on this electrifying fight card, and I can’t wait for fans in Tampa to see me take care of business on Saturday, July 20, live on DAZN pay-per-view.”
These new additives round off a five-fight DAZN PPV main card alongside Amanda Serrano vs Stevie Morgan and Tony Aguilar vs Corey Marksman.
