Mike Perry says Jake Paul gave him a tougher sparring session than Darren Till

Mike Perry was caught by surprise when he stepped into the boxing ring earlier this year to spar with Jake Paul, claiming that the YouTube celebrity was a ‘better spar’ than UFC middleweight Darren Till.

Perry, who admitted that Paul got the better of him in that sparring session, claims the 3-0 boxer has ‘different tricks’ up his sleeve and is not to be underestimated by future opponents. ‘Platinum’ previously warned that Ben Askren was making a mistake in boxing Paul on April 17 — a warning that ultimately fell on deaf ears.

“Jake Paul was a better spar than Till,” Perry told The Mac Life in a recent interview (h/t MMA Mania).
