This time around, Jake Paul has a backup plan. Paul announced Saturday that UFC veteran and current BKFC fighter Mike Perry will serve as a standby fighter in case scheduled opponent Tommy Fury withdraws from their Feb. 26 matchup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “We have Mike Perry on standby,” Paul said at a press conference Saturday (via Seconds Out ). “Let’s go, Mike Perry. He’s ready to jump in in case Tommy pulls out.” Perry, 31, has only competed once in traditional boxing at the professional level, a March 2015 knockout loss.
