Jake Paul's pre-fight press conference with Mike Tyson featured several moments, one of which saw 'The Problem Child' taunt his foe with a unique diamond-encrusted piece of jewelry molded over the helix of his right ear. When asked why he wore it, Paul couldn't help but make a lighthearted joke over it.

According to Paul, he wore his 'diamond-spiked ear covers,' which he hopes to take into the ring with him to avoid having his ear bitten. However, it is unlikely that any commission will allow him to take part in a professional boxing match wearing such jewelry.

"I'm not getting my sh*t bit off on Friday night. So I got my diamond-spiked ear covers right there."

Paul's claim is a reference to one of Tyson's most infamous moments when he bit off the top of Evander Holyfield's ear. Given 'The Problem Child's' reported $80 million net worth, his taunt is hardly surprising. However, come fight night, he will face one of boxing's greatest-ever fighters.

Tyson is the youngest world champion in heavyweight boxing history. His knockouts before and even after his prison sentence live on in the memory of the sport, and he will look to turn back the clock tomorrow.

Unfortunately, their bout has been marred by controversy relating to Tyson's health issues and the 31-year age difference between them. Only time will tell if fans will see the same old 'Iron Mike' in the ring on Friday.


Jake Paul is planning to show off his wealth even more

Part of the spectacle of boxing is the pageantry, and the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout seems like it will feature quite the walkouts, especially for 'The Problem Child.' On episode #10 of the Talk Tuah with Hailey Welch podcast, Paul teased his plan for the most expensive walkout outfit in boxing history.

"This outfit I've made for the fight is the most expensive fight outfit in the history of boxing. It's $1 million, so it cost a pretty penny and it's very shiny. That's the hints I will give for the walkout. I'm gonna be driving in a certain vehicle to the ring."

With just one more day until fight night, fans won't have to wait long to have all of their questions answered.
