Rebel Perez enters Prizefighter arena

MIKE “The Rebel” PEREZ is facing what promises to be the biggest pay day of his career to date after joining the line-up for the first International Heavyweight Prizefighter tournament in London in May.

The Cork-based Cuban — the first of the Cubans to defect to Ireland — will also face the most difficult assignment of his career as the Prizefighter series enters a new realm.

Up to now the Prizefighter tournaments have been basically domestic affairs but now the Americans join the contestants.
