Former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew has given his assessment on this weekend’s clash between Jake Paul and Mike Perry.

Paul was set to face boxing icon Mike Tyson but the fight was rescheduled for November 15th due to an ulcer flare-up to the former undisputed heavyweight champion.

But ‘The Problem Child’ opted to stay busy and drafted in former UFC star Mike Perry in for this weekend’s clash.

And speaking to DAZN Bellew credited Paul for staying active and fighting a new opponent.

He said: “Jake Paul to win, and do you know what? I think he’ll look good doing so.”

“Fair play to Jake and his team for getting this on as he easily could’ve sat this one out and waited for the Tyson fight to come around.

“He wants to stay busy. He doesn’t want periods of inactivity. He’s going in with a fighter who has experience, but I think this fight ends early.

“Jake has shown he can compete with the MMA guys when it comes to boxing, and he’ll prove that again on Saturday. I’m expecting a big brutal knockout from Jake Paul.”
