Security saves crazed influencer from Mike Perry

The video, captioned “Bro tried to troll Mike Perry,” captures a funny moment where Ferrer sneaks up behind Perry and makes a weird noise in his ear. Perry turns around with an annoyed look and gives him a shove. The BKFC champion is clearly not amused by the prank, making the whole scene pretty hilarious to watch.

But it doesn’t end there! While all this was happening, Ferrer was spraying Paul’s ‘W’ perfume on Perry. To top it off, he said, “Jake’s gonna take that W, bro.” This was the last straw for security, who jumped in, grabbed Ferrer, and dragged him away. As he was being pulled away, Ferrer, almost in tears, said, “I want Jake Paul to win against you.”

Fans didn’t find the prank funny!

Since the clip was shared on social media, Ferrer has come under some serious fire from the boxing community. One user didn’t show mercy while asking organizers for an indefinite ban on the guy. The user wrote, “Ban this dude from all future events”. While that can be arranged, Ferrer can always show up in Perry’s other fights that are not organized by MVP.

The next user had an even harsher punishment for the influencer in mind. “Should’ve sent him to the shadow realm”, commented the user. Though Ferrer doesn’t realize, Perry could have sent him to the ER if his instinct had taken over.

Meanwhile, the next user thought the prank was the farthest thing from funny. The user wrote, “No one’s laughing”. Well, some did because of the level of stupidity.

Someone else proposed an idea to put the influencer, trying to gain some clout, in his place. The user remarked, “One right hand puts that fruitcup in his place”. But so close to Perry’s fight, it would have done more bad than good.

Another user made an interesting prediction for Jay Ferrer’s future. “Lil dude not gonna make it too long acting like that…”, commented the user. Actually, such pranksters have gotten shot for pulling similar stunts.

With mere hours in the Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry fight in Florida, the influencer just gave fans one more reason to wish for Paul’s loss. But can Perry defy the odds to stop Jake’s dominance? Let us know in the comments!
