Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Mike Perry could be the face of naked knuckle boxing, however that doesn’t imply “Platinum” is afraid to lace up the gloves. A method or one other, Perry’s subsequent transfer isn’t absolutely confirmed as a consequence of his standing as Dillon Danis’ again up versus Logan Paul. Danis is presently in a will-they, gained’t-they relationship with competitors as an entire, so it’s distinctly attainable that Danis pulls out formally any day now and is changed by Perry.
He’s hinted as a lot this week.
If by some divine miracle Danis does make it to the ring, Perry has stumbled into an alternative choice: former Professional Bowl NFL working again Le’Veon Bell. The longtime Pittsburgh Steeler’s NFL profession formally fizzled out in 2022, however he’s rebounded contained in the boxing ring. He knocked out fellow soccer star Adrian Peterson in an exhibition bout final 12 months (watch it), and he’s 1-1 as a professional general after shedding his debut to ex-UFC Middleweight Uriah Corridor.
Apparently, Bell needs a bit of Paul as effectively, and he’s not joyful that Perry scored the backup slot. He questioned Perry’s comparative star energy, and accused “scared” Logan Paul of avoiding a combat with him.
Mike Perry the again up opponent when/if Dillon Danis pulls out? lol that simply lets you realize, Logan not tryna combat for actual .. however look, i’m achieved callin out these dudes, they’re clearly scared and I’m not tryna be a bully .. so ima simply depart em alone pic.twitter.com/XQLL1x8QSQ

It didn’t take Perry lengthy to reply. “Platinum” has grown into a real star within the fight sports activities group, even when he’s not as well-known in most people as Bell. Perry then suggested him to “Save your self the embarrassment,” however supplied, “You and I can sq. up tho, lmk.”
Surprisingly, Bell appears to be down. He wrote again to Perry, “I been SEARCHING for a dance associate.”
It’s an odd match up, however one that would show profitable for each males. Perry is much extra skilled and confirmed within the ring, however he could be going through a major measurement drawback, and Bell can definitely crack. Possibly it finally ends up on the undercard of Paul vs. Danis if that combat makes it to the ring?
