Mike Perez is a professional boxer with a record of 26 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw, and 0 no-contests in his 30 fights. His career started on January 26, 2008, when he knocked out his opponent Jevgēņijs Stamburskis in the first round of his debut fight. He continued his winning streak for 19 more fights, including 11 knockouts, before suffering his first loss against Bryant Jennings via a 12 round split-decision in 2014.

However, Perez did not let this loss define his career as he bounced back with four consecutive wins, including victories over Jose Gregorio Ulrich, Pablo Matias Magrini, Darnell Wilson, Tye Fields, Grégory Tony, and Magomed Abdusalamov. While he has never won a world title or defended a title, Perez had his first world title fight at the age of 31 on September 30, 2017, against Mairis Briedis for the WBC title. Unfortunately, he lost via unanimous decision after 12 rounds.

Despite the setback, Perez has continued to fight with determination, and his most recent fight was a non-title bout against Jose Gregorio Ulrich on November 13, 2021. Perez won the fight via a 6th round TKO, extending his winning streak to four fights.

Perez has a strong record of 17 knockout wins and only one loss via knockout, showcasing his punching power and technical skills in the ring. However, his boxing style is versatile, and he is known for his ability to adapt to different opponents and situations during fights.

One of Perez's most notable fights was against Magomed Abdusalamov in November 2013, where he defeated him via a 10 round majority decision. The fight was significant as Abdusalamov suffered severe brain damage and almost lost his life due to the injuries sustained during the fight. Perez has since expressed his remorse and emphasized the importance of boxer safety and adequate medical facilities and personnel at ringside.

Perez's success and skill in the ring can be attributed to his extensive experience as a professional boxer. With over 20 years of experience, Perez has honed his skills and techniques, allowing him to consistently deliver impressive performances in the ring. His technical proficiency is evident, as he effectively uses his footwork, head movement, and combination punching to outmaneuver his opponents.

When asked about his training and preparation for fights, Perez emphasizes the importance of discipline and hard work. He believes that the key to success in boxing is to remain dedicated and focused, both in and outside the ring. Perez's approach to training involves a rigorous strength and conditioning program, sparring, and studying his opponents' fighting styles, techniques, and weaknesses.

While Perez has yet to win a world title, his record and performances in the ring showcase his potential to become a champion in the future. With his strong record and technical abilities, Perez continues to impress boxing fans and establish himself as a formidable opponent in the sport.
