The Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry round-by-round updates will carry eager fans through the anticipated boxing match later tonight. The cruiserweight matchup headlines an event that starts at 9:00 PM E.T. (Eastern Time) / 6:00 PM P.T. (Pacific Time) on DAZN.

The main event, though, is expected to take place at 12:00 AM E.T. / 9:00 PM P.T. It will be contested over 8, three-minute, rounds, with no championship on the line. However, what the fight lacks in trinkets and belts, it makes up for in significance and legacies, with Paul’s 9-1 record pitted against Perry’s 0-1 run of form.

Paul intends to use Perry as a mere stepping stone to stay sharp ahead of a boxing match with heavyweight legend Mike Tyson, who he was originally set to fight. A loss to Perry would derail his career path and put his bout with Tyson in jeopardy. Meanwhile, ‘Platinum,’ the face of BKFC, is on a quest for blood.
