When the name Lenier Perot is mentioned, I believe that few people know who he is, but the rising heavyweight star from Cuba has received more and more attention from the outside world because he looks like the young boxing champion Mike Tyson, and after a brilliant amateur career, Perot is moving towards new heights.
Perot and the young Tyson do have some similarities, and he knows that this is an innate advantage, so he tries his best to build himself into the "second generation of Tyson", such as imitating Tyson's speaking tone, once wearing a hairstyle like Tyson, and even wearing Tyson-style gold teeth in his mouth, which at first glance does look like Tyson arrived.
The reason why Perot is concerned by the outside world, in addition to his close appearance to Tyson, is that his strength is not bad, and the well-known media "World Boxing News" regards Perot as a future heavyweight boxing champion, believing that he is likely to become a superstar in a few years.
One of the important reasons why World Boxing News values Perot so much is that his performance in his amateur period is very eye-catching. According to incomplete statistics, Perot has a 100-20 amateur record, won gold medals in the 2010 Youth Olympic Games and Youth Championships, and also won gold medals in the 2011 and 2015 Pan American Games.
In 2016, Perot competed in the Rio Olympics, but unfortunately he was not very lucky at the Olympics, after eliminating Italian fighter Guido Vianero in the first round, he was knocked out in the second round when he fought Croatia's Filip Helgovic for a place in the last four, and failed to make a breakthrough, and Helgovic won the bronze medal in boxing at that Olympics.
In his spare time, there were countless famous players who played with Perot, such as Orekosand-Usyk, Joe Joyce, Bakhodir Jalorov, Fraser Clark and others. In particular, Perot has played his Cuban compatriot Frank Sanchez five times, with an overwhelming 4-1 record. Today, Sanchez is ranked 13th in the professional boxing rankings and is regarded as a force that cannot be ignored in the heavyweight, and Perot's ability to defeat Sanchez four times in his spare time shows that his strength is not vain.
In 2019, Perot managed to leave Cuba and went to Germany to become a professional fighter, and because of his great courage and courage, the outside world gave him the nickname "Volunteers". Today, Perot lives in Miami and is part of Seminole Warrior Promotion, which has made a name for itself in the industry and has in recent years built World Heavyweight Champion Charles Martin, Women's Welterweight Champion Cecilia Blakehus, and Sanchez mentioned above is also promoting the company.
Under the operation of Warrior Promotion, Perot is now ranked 76th in the world overall, including 6th in the WBA ranking. Right now, Perot is the WBA Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, and in the upcoming 2022, he has won three consecutive fights and has shown considerable competitiveness.
Perot said: "The United States is the professional boxing capital, and I am working hard in that direction. Everyone knows that if you want to make a difference in professional boxing, you have to be present in the United States. I made a lot of sacrifices, including leaving my family and friends in Cuba to be the best version of myself, which was a different journey in life and an important choice I made. ”
Perot is 1.94 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.01 meters, is a left-hander, currently has a professional record of 8 wins, 5 knockouts, from the knockout rate, he is still a certain gap with Tyson of the year, and is 30 years old, so it is more appropriate to describe it as an "older star". However, age and knockdown rate do not say much, after all, Perot's amateur experience is quite rich, and the future is indeed worth looking forward to, hoping that he not only has Tyson's appearance, but also has Tyson's talent and strength.
