**Tampa, FL** – Former UFC fighter Mike Perry has raised questions about the lack of drug testing in his July boxing match against YouTube star Jake Paul, claiming it was the first time he had not been tested prior to a fight. Perry, who lost the fight in a Round 6 TKO, expressed surprise and concern about the lack of testing, especially considering the magnitude of the event and Paul’s rising profile in the boxing world.
“They tested me for all my fights except for the Jake Paul fight,” said Perry. “I was surprised to not get tested… if he’s on some sh*t, it’s so good they can’t test for it anyways.”
Perry’s comments come as Paul prepares for his next bout against boxing legend Mike Tyson, a match that has sparked considerable debate due to Tyson’s age (58) and potential vulnerability. While acknowledging Tyson’s mental sharpness and impressive training videos, Perry expressed concerns based on the outcome of the Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort fight, where Holyfield appeared visibly aged and was ultimately defeated.
“I’ve seen some things that Mike Tyson has been saying on video, and he seems really sharp mentally,” Perry said. “But I always think about the Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort… he really looked his age in there.”
Despite his concerns, Perry believes the high stakes and $5 million incentive for Tyson to last five rounds could motivate the former heavyweight champion.
Perry’s comments have brought renewed attention to drug testing practices in high-profile boxing matches and raised questions about the fairness and integrity of the sport. Whether the Tyson vs. Paul fight will be subject to drug testing remains unclear.
