In one of the biggest surprises of the past year, Jake Paul has become one of the most popular boxers worldwide. Paul, best known for his social media career before jumping in the ring, has posted some pretty decent wins of late and he's hoping to keep things going this summer too. With that said, ahead of his next bout, Jake Paul is the favorite over Mike Perry in their 2024 boxing match. Which boxer will end up coming out on top?
That's a question that we can't wait to find out. Next weekend, Paul and Perry will indeed go to battle and this is a contest that fans across the planet have been excited about for quite some time. Paul is hoping to make yet another statement, while Paul has let everyone know how much he dislikes his opponent. The two have been talking a lot of trash in recent weeks, which only makes things even more interesting.
| Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry odds |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paul to win | -220 | -220 | -220 |
| Perry to win | +175 | +175 | +175 |
| Over 5.5 rounds | -110 | -110 | -110 |
| Under 5.5 rounds | -110 | -110 | -110 |
“When I sparred him a couple years ago, I was 180 and he was 195, maybe 205,” Perry said of his previous experience with Paul while speaking with FightHub TV. “I think he was about to fight Ben Askren (at 190), I don’t think he was really cutting weight at the time. And so to put on 25 pounds, I don’t know how someone does it without a cheat code. It doesn’t matter to me. I could just be saying that just to mess with him. He does look flubbery.”
According to the best sports betting sites, which includes the reliable Bovada sportsbook review, Paul holds -220 boxing betting odds, while Perry has been set at +175. This goes to show you that a lot of people think Paul will be able to take care of business and do so in a convincing fashion. While we do think this fight is going to be a lot closer than most fans think, we're still going to have to go with Paul as our pick to have his hand raised by the end of the night.

How many rounds will the Jake Paul and Mike Perry fight last?
Leading up to this showdown, a lot of people are wondering how many rounds will the Jake Paul and Mike Perry fight last? It's not going to be a quick one, that's for sure. Paul is known for his power, but the same can be said for Perry. They're also quite technical. Some boxing fans think that just because Paul is not known to be a full-time fighter, that he shouldn't be taken seriously. However, that'd be a big mistake.
Paul has gotten in the ring with some talented fighters of late, with the list including Nate Diaz. While Diaz is best known for his work in the UFC, he still has some great punches, yet Paul didn't have much of an issue when they went to war. Now, Perry will be the latest one to try and slow him down. He himself knows that things are going to be tough, but he's not going to be intimidated by Paul or his entourage.

"I'm going to hit him and he's not going to like it," Perry told Morning Kombat in a new interview. "I'm going to chase him around the ring, I'm going to make him tired and keep that pressure on him. In training it's not about what he does; I don't watch tape, I really don't. Maybe my people do, but if I watched anything it would be highlights from the Tommy Fury fight."
Per the oddsmakers, the over/under for this fight has been set at 5.5 rounds, and it will reach a maximum of eight rounds. This is a cruiserweight matchup too. With all of that said, Perry has plenty of fighting experience, which includes his time in the UFC. What gives Paul the advantage here is that he was a late addition, as he's stepping in for Mike Tyson (more on that below). Having said that, we're definitely going with the over for rounds, which has -110 odds per the top boxing betting sites.
Why are Jake Paul and Mike Tyson not fighting as originally planned?
Another question a lot of you might be asking is why are Jake Paul and Mike Tyson not fighting as originally planned? The two should have been squaring off this weekend, but Tyson ran into some health issues, forcing him to have to push back his training. While so many people were excited for that showdown, we will now have to wait until November for the two to dance. Paul remains excited for that one too.
However, fans are fired up to see what Tyson will be able to do against him. Despite Tyson being 58 years old, he's in incredible shape and his power is tough to match. This is something that Paul is going to have to watch out for once they do put the gloves on this fall. Tyson is a favorite to come out on top, which is expected. First, we'll see what Paul can do vs. Perry, but after that, the training for the Tyson fight will surely begin.
