Paul and Perry headlined a boxing event last July, which saw the YouTuber-turned-boxer earn a decisive sixth-round TKO win over the former UFC star. The bout materialized on short notice as 'The Problem Child' had been scheduled to fight Mike Tyson, but the boxing legend was forced to withdraw and their Netflix bout was rescheduled to November.

In his latest appearance on Pound 4 Pound, Perry expressed interest in fighting Paul again and proposed other forms of combat including MMA, bare knuckle boxing and even his new Dirty Boxing promotion.

'Platinum' mentioned that if 'The Problem Child' only agrees to a boxing bout, he would want a full training camp as opposed to their short notice bout last year. He said:

"If we made it a street fight and it was bare knuckle and I could make it dirty. They won't do the bare knuckle... With boxing gloves? Okay, give me 12 weeks. Three-and-a-half weeks, I stepped in for Mike Tyson and fought July 20th. My rib got crunched pretty good a week before... The first thing Jake was able to hit was that rib and he broke it. To prepare for a boxing match, which is different from bare knuckle, I needed more than three-and-a-half weeks."

"Jake's good. Jake's pretty good. Nobody will give him credit, that's fine. I'd like to get a better chance to take it from him. He's consistent with his camp. He's paying his camp well. He's got the best training that he can buy with his money around him."
