One fan made a hilarious comment on the news, “The Nigerian Nightmare is on standby”. Similarly, another fan wrote, “LETS GO 2% AFRICAN MAN”.

Moreover, one fan made a bold prediction regarding the results of the fight, “Hear me out, if Mike knocks out jake it’ll be the most hype moment in history”. While one social media user said, “Mike would do ungodly things to jake”.

Furthermore, fans actually wanted this fight to be confirmed instead of Perry being on standby. They commented, “Just switch fury for Petty, Perry is a harder match anyways.” Another fan added, “I hope Tommy pulls out just to watch this fight”.

Similarly, some fans had good words for Perry. They commented. “At least he is not a 40 year old retired MMA fighter. Perry has boxing experience.” And one more fan said, “That’s awesome for Perry. Hope he gets that payday.”

However, one fan was critical of Jake Paul’s choices of opponents. They said, “Paul cuts to 195. Perry, askren, woodley all used to fight 170. Makes sense”.
