Jake Paul will wear some expensive and unique jewelry ahead of his highly-anticipated fight with legendary boxer Mike Tyson on Friday.
According to TMZ Sports, the YouTuber-turned-boxer bought a $7 million Jacob and Co. watch along with diamond ear coverings, which cost $100,000 each and are from VOBARA, per TMZ.
The ear coverings are seemingly a preemptive jab at Tyson, who infamously bit Evander Holyfield’s ear twice during their championship bout in 1997, which disqualified him from the fight.
Paul addressed the ear coverings at a press conference on Wednesday:

Along with the expensive accessories, Paul teased his $1 million outfit for the fight on Tuesday.
“This outfit that I’ve made for the fight is the most expensive fight outfit in the history of boxing,” he 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.”
Paul is clearly sparing no expense ahead of the fight, but pricey accessories won’t do anything for him once he’s in the ring. A win over Tyson could be career-defining for Paul, who has a 10-1 record and is looking to add to it on Friday.
Tyson, meanwhile, has been out of the ring professionally since 2005 with his last exhibition bout coming in 2020. The 58-year-old is looking to prove he’s still got it by taking down the much younger Paul.
