Things between Jake Paul and Mike Perry boiled over at their final faceoff.

This Saturday, Paul and Perry face off in a 10-round boxing match at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, FL. Ahead of the bout, the two shared one final faceoff at the ceremonial weigh ins on Friday — and with tensions flaring all fight week, things finally boiled over.

As Paul and Perry faced off, they exchanged words with each other, with Paul saying he’ll knock Perry out in the first round and Perry responding that he is “ready for a fight.” As the posturing and war of words continued, things finally came to a head when Perry initiated contact and Paul shoved Perry several feet backward in response, causing security to intervene.

After the scene, Perry had more harsh words for Paul.

“They’re working hard to protect him, but tomorrow night in the ring, when it’s just me and him, no protection,” Perry said. “He’s going down.

“You seen how hard those big guys had to work to get me back? I was pushing through the whole shit, moving all of their asses. That’s like 1,000 pounds of pressure. That’s called ‘Platinum’ pressure. I’m putting it on him tomorrow night. I’m beating your ass, Jake!”

Likewise, Paul was also brimming with confidence after the altercation, reiterating that he believes Perry will be an easy fight.

“He’s light. He flew like six feet,” Paul said. “Dana White said he’s going to give him a UFC contract if he can knock me out. Guess what, Dana? You can rip up the f*cking contract because I’m going to f* up Mike Perry. Anyone you send at me, any one of your MMA fighters is going to get f*cked up. They’ve been trying to assassinate me. They don’t want me in this sport. They hate that I run this sport.”
