Jake Paul is sparing no expense for his upcoming fight against legendary boxer Mike Tyson. The YouTuber-turned-boxer teased some of the details for his walkout for Friday's fight on Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch , including his outfit, which he said cost $1 million. "This outfit that I've made for the fight is the most expensive fight outfit in the history of boxing," he said (59:10 mark).
"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.
" The fight, which will air live on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, has generated plenty of hype over the past few months. The two were supposed to square off on July 20, but the fight was postponed to November after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up. Now less than a week away, Paul is gearing up for what could be a career-changing fight.
He made it known recently that he has big fights in mind after the bout with Tyson. On the TimboSugarShow (h/t MMA Junkie's Farah Hannoun ), Paul said he wants to fight one of the top boxers currently in the game. "I do (have a callout).
It's Canelo (Alvarez)," Paul said. "This moment will prove that I'm the face of boxing, the largest attraction. Me vs.
Canelo at 200 pounds for the cruiserweight championship of the world is the biggest fight, arguably even bigger than me vs. Tyson. It makes so much sense.
Canelo is on his way out. He's going to want a payday, and I want to show the world that all the s--t I've been talking about beating Canelo is actually true." Paul is clearly confident in his abilities, but he'll have to prove himself against Tyson before landing a fight as big as Alvarez.
Tyson, meanwhile, is looking to prove he's still got it at 58 years old. Tyson has not fought professionally since 2005 and hasn't had an exhibition fight since 2020. After months of anticipation, both fighters are likely eager to finally get in the ring on Friday.
