We started off by asking him why he decided to base himself in Ireland?

Mike - I was not coming to Ireland, I was getting out of Cuba. I found a manager who brought me to Ireland, where I'm very happy to be.

When did you come to the conclusion that you were good enough to turn professional as a boxer?

Mike - Since I was a kid that was my dream-to go to America and become a boxing champion.

When do you aim to be fighting again?

Mike - Sometime in late March. Opponent TBA.

What is the situation with you and Tyson Fury? At one point it looked like you two were going to fight each other, how come this hasn't happened?

Another British heavyweight Dereck Chisora is fighting for a world title this weekend, do you think he can win?

Mike - Anything could happen in boxing, and I wish him all the best.

You were the 2011 prize-fighter champion, winning a tournament like prize-fighter normally gives a boxer the opportunity to have big fights, why do you think that hasn't happened with you yet?

Mike – My manager has been looking for the right deals/fights, so I guess my manager could answer that question better than me. I'm willing to fight anybody, anytime.
Would you consider entering prize-fighter again?

Mike – Yes. It would be an honour to defend my title. Hopefully there will be another international prize-fighter soon with bigger name boxers that I could go show I'm for real.

You are 6ft tall, which now a days is small for a heavyweight, would you ever consider dropping down in weight to Cruiserweight if you can't get the fights you want at heavyweight?

Mike – Mike Tyson was my size and the bigger guys feared him. I'm hoping to make the same impact by driving fear into the big guys.

For all your loyal fans out there, what message do you have for them?

Mike - In amateur boxing Cuban boxers are feared and respected by everyone. I want to continue the same as a professional boxer. I'll keep working hard and become the first IRISH /Cuban heavyweight champion of the world!

Thanks to all my fans for supporting me, and I hope you guys continue to support me and look forward to bigger and better things in the future.

Thanks again for talking to us Mike, we hope you have a big 2012.

Mike - I sure will, Jake. Muchos gracias!
It’s good to hear that Mike Perez is one of the very few heavyweight prospects who is willing to fight anyone out there and take on all challenges, we wish Mike Perez great success in the future, and remember to look out for Mike’s next fight in March, opponent TBA.
