YouTuber Jake Paul purchased a $7 million watch and $200,000 diamond ear coverings in advance of his November 15 fight against Mike Tyson, according to TMZ Sports.

The ear coverings are in reference to the notorious bite that Tyson once took out of competitor Evander Holyfield’s ear in 1997, TMZ reported. The watch is “loaded with emerald and baguette-cut white diamonds, and a one-minute tourbillon,” TMZ reported.

Paul and Tyson are meeting in the boxing ring for a much-anticipated bout. Netflix wrote on X that the fight will occur live on Netflix on Friday, November 15, at 8 p.m. Eastern time. USA Today reported that the event will be free on Netflix for subscribers of that platform.

TMZ reported that the watch is from Jacob and Co., and the diamond ear coverings are from VOBARA. According to Fox News, the State of Texas has sanctioned the fight as a professional bout. It was originally supposed to take place in July, but Tyson had to postpone the fight because he had an ulcer, Fox News reported. Paul has a 10-1 record as a boxer, according to USA Today.

Things have already gotten heated, with Tyson hitting Paul at the weigh-in, according to video Netflix posted on X. That video has had more than 8 million views, although some viewers wrote that they think it was staged. “Even if it show Tyson is still quick, ya see that speed?” a person wrote on X on the Netflix comment thread.
