In the wake of his recent bout with Jake Paul, Mike Perry has been issued a 60-day medical suspension. The Florida Athletic Commission (FAC) announced the suspension after Perry endured a barrage of 65 punches from Paul, culminating in a sixth-round TKO.

The intense cruiserweight boxing match, held in Tampa, Florida, saw Perry knocked down midway through the sixth round. Although he managed to get up after an eight count, Perry stumbled when instructed to walk to the right, prompting the referee to halt the fight for his safety.

According to the FAC, Perry’s suspension is a precautionary measure to ensure he receives proper medical care and has adequate time to recover from the damage sustained during the fight. The commission did not disclose specific injury details but emphasized the importance of the suspension for Perry’s health.

It’s important to note that while the suspension is set for 60 days, Perry could potentially return to competition sooner if cleared by a physician. The FAC’s decision underscores the rigorous safety protocols in place to protect fighters in the sport.

Jake Paul’s performance in the match was marked by precision and power, landing 65 significant punches that ultimately led to his victory. This bout has further solidified Paul’s reputation in the boxing world, while also highlighting the physical demands and risks inherent in the sport.
