Mike Perry has posted footage of himself getting heated in a chaotic sparring session this week.
The 32-year-old American is set to return to pro boxing from MMA and bare-knuckle to take on Jake Paul on July 20.
A week away from the fight, Perry has uploaded an unusual sparring clip to social media.
In the video, he can be seen wearing red gloves and backing his sparring partner (blue gloves) against the ropes.
Perry is seemingly on the front foot and pushing the action.
He throws an uppercut and then his opponent clinches him to slow things down.
Perry refuses to allow that to happen though and instead takes the sparring partner down to the canvas.
He then takes top position and continues to throw punches at his downed opponent.
At this point, onlookers rush into the ring and separate the pair.
Perry posted the video with the caption: “You ain’t ready for these hands @JakePaul. Time to get dirty.”
Paul seemingly welcomed the social media promotion from his July 20 opponent as he shared the video on his story.
He then replied with a comment: “That’s some p***y s***. Private school Perry can’t take the heat and throws a tantrum.”
Fans have also reacted to the video in the comments.
One wrote: “Mike made him turn to a wrestler then showed him some wrestling.”
But a second fan said: “Nah this kinda embarrassing.”
While a third commented: “Honestly bro is tough and good fighter but can’t let Jake be in your head big bro. Have some fundamentals. Work on footwork and move around the ring when you fighting him.”
Time will tell if Perry utilises a similar move while fighting Paul, with just seven days to go until fight night.
