Maybe Perez is trying to get on the Fury, Chisora and even Haye radar fighting this side of the Atlantic http://www.irish-boxing.com/mike-perez-fight-limerick-november/
His manager is from Ireland and he was living in Ireland with a few other Cuban detectors , nothing to do with UK fighters he is just getting back in the win column on home turf
He lives in Ireland. Prior to his last 4 or so fights, all of his bouts were in Ireland/UK... But yes, I'm guessing HBO is done with him so he would be smart to target the UK heavys...
