Jake Paul is shelling out for Friday night’s Netflix fight against legendary boxer Mike Tyson.
Paul dropped $7 million on a Jacob and Co. watch and another $200,000 on a pair of diamond VOBARA ear coverings, according to TMZ Sports.
The latter accessory is an apparent reference to Iron Mike’s infamous 1997 fight in which he bit off a part of Evander Holyfield’s ear.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer teased his walkout during an appearance on “Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch” this week.
“This outfit that I’ve made for the fight is the most expensive fight outfit in the history of boxing,” Paul said.
“It’s $1 million. So, it costs a pretty penny, and it’s very shiny. That’s the hints I will give. But for the walkout, I’m gonna be driving in a certain vehicle to the ring, which is gonna be pretty cool. But the rest you’re gonna have to wait and see. The song is sort of related to Mike Tyson’s career and a film that he did.”
Friday’s bout at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas is one of the most highly anticipated boxing matches in recent history.
The pair was originally supposed to face off on July 20 before an ulcer took Tyson, who turned 58 in June, out of action.
“Coming here from Miami on the plane, I went to the bathroom, and I threw up blood. Next thing I know I’m on the floor and I was defecating tar,” Tyson said of the incident. “So I came (to the hospital), they said I had a big ulcer, two and a half inches, it was bleeding. All my friends were calling me like I’m dying.”
It will be Tyson’s first sanctioned match since 2005. He last stepped in the ring in 2020 for an exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr.
Paul, 27, is 10-1 with seven knockouts during his boxing career, although all but one of those fights came against a boxer making his pro debut.
