Jake Paul made the 200lbs weight limit on his second attempt for his scheduled fight with Mike Perry on Saturday at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Paul first stepped on the scales and weighed in at 200.4lbs but returned shortly after to hit the cruiserweight limit at 200lbs. He reportedly was on course to weigh around 230lbs for his postponed fight with Mike Tyson. He also appeared drained as he left the stage and shouting to the crowd with a dry voice: “Totally dialed in.”
Perry made the weight comfortably. The former UFC fighter and bareknuckle boxer will be making his professional boxing debut.
Amanda Serrano was comfortably under the junior-welterweight limit, at 136 pounds. She hopes for a drama-free fight with Stevie Morgan, because she is on course for a sought-after rematch with Katie Taylor later in 2024.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr weighed in under the cruiserweight limit for his contest against MMA fighter Uriah Hall, the former UFC star competing as a professional boxer for only the second time.
