American YouTuber Jake Paul outclassed legendary boxer Mike Tyson on the latter's return to competitive action after a gap of almost two decades. Paul rose to the occasion and beat the 59-year-old in the bout, which lasted eight rounds at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. For the special occasion, Paul donned a never-before-seen boxing gear, which he deemed as the "most expensive in sporting history".
According to the Problem Child, his outfit features 380 carat diamonds between his boxing shorts, shoes, and jacket. Paul's ensembled was designed by Los Angeles-based studio Surgeon, and is valued at around $1 million (Rs 8.4 crore).
Paul's silver jacket featured his name encrusted in diamonds on the front, along with diamond tennis chains attached to both, his shorts and shoes. In addition, the gray jacket featured the logo of his new healthcare line, W by Jake Paul, also encrusted with jewels. However, this luxury lifestyle is nothing new for Paul.
Also, at the official weigh-in on Friday, he was seen wearing a $7 million (Rs 59 crore approx.) on a Jacob and Co. watch.
The 27-year-old from Cleveland, who defeated veteran heavyweight icon Mike Tyson in an eight-round made-for-Netflix bout on Friday, has parlayed his fame as an internet celebrity into a lucrative career in combat sports. Paul, who is estimated to have a net worth of $80 million according to the Celebrity Net Worth website, first rose to prominence in 2013, posting short-form videos to the now-shuttered site.
