Jake Paul kept the receipts.
After defeating Mike Perry via a sixth-round TKO victory during Saturday’s fight in Tampa, Florida, the YouTube star-turned-boxer took to social media to troll a chain his opponent wore ahead of the bout:

Paul ended up having little trouble with the bare-knuckle fighter and former UFC fighter. He also continued the pattern of defeating former UFC fighters considering he previously beat Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz and Ben Askren.
The victor knocked Perry down three times before the referee stopped the match in the sixth round and awarded him a victory.
Next up is a high-profile showdown with Mike Tyson.
While Tyson is a boxing legend with a better resume than any fighter Paul has previously gone up against, he is also 58 years old and well past his peak as a fighter. Yet the two will face each other on Nov. 15 in Arlington, Texas, in a bout that will draw plenty of attention.
