During the inaugural press conference for Misfits Boxing’s upcoming event, there was a surprise to the highly anticipated boxing match between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul. Mike Perry was declared as the backup fighter ready to step in if either Danis or Paul were to fail to make their appearance.
This strategic move addresses Danis’s track record of withdrawing from fights at the last moment. With Perry’s inclusion as a backup fighter, the assurance of Paul’s presence in the ring appears to be secured.
Mike Perry revealed as backup fighter for Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis
In an unexpected twist during the London press conference yesterday, Mike made a commitment to participate in the upcoming fight as a backup. The former UFC fighter expressed that Misfits Boxing wants proper recognition and that’s why he’s been called out to be the backup.
“Dillon doesn’t show up, I’m ready to fight. If they know me, my fans who know me and to the people who don’t, when you get Mike Perry on the card, you get the fight that you’re asking for.” Mike said.
Hold up… all this shit that Dillon Danis has been talking about Logan Paul… And he doesn’t show up? Am I confused or what? Somebody please explain this to me because I could’ve swore Logan and Dillon we’re supposed to fight? I mean Mike Perry is a better fight. #LoganPaul pic.twitter.com/OyVntlQijY

Dedication to fitness has become an integral part of Perry’s routine. Hence Platinum also expressed confidence in his ability to achieve a weight around 190 to 195 pounds in preparation for the fight.
“As long as I’m in shape, I put the miles in, get some road work, lift some weights and do my boxing rounds like I love, I’ll be ready to show up if they need me. Let’s do it.” Mike added.
