Perry Fired, Turki Says Jake's Fight Isn't Boxing

Former UFC champion and co-founder of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, Conor McGregor, commented on the fight between blogger and boxer Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) and former UFC fighter Mike Perry (0-2).

"Jake Paul is the biggest disgrace I've ever seen in my life. The weight difference was 40 pounds (about 18 kg), and he's still scared in the ring. And then you call out a 60-year-old Mike Tyson who just got hospitalized during a flight? I swear to God, you fat tub of piss," wrote Conor.

McGregor also addressed Mike Perry, who participated in Bare Knuckle and announced the creation of his own promotion before the fight against Jake.

"Hey Mike, you're fired, and you can go compete in your stinking Dirty Boxing Championship (the promotion founded by Mike Perry). Good luck. You're fired," wrote the former champion.

The head of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, Turki Alalshikh, was also displeased with the fight between Jake and Perry.

"This is not boxing," wrote Alalshikh.

One user mentioned that Turki paid Francis Ngannou about $30 million for two boxing matches, to which the official replied: "First of all, not $30 million, and secondly, Francis is a real fighter and fights well, not like in this circus."
