Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, over-promised and under-delivered. From glitches and lag during the live stream to an 8-round fight, where Iron Mike is barely able to connect in the latter rounds. In the post-fight interview, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ caught off guard a lot of people with his ‘cheeky’ outfit. Speaking about the outfit, Aces superstar A’ja Wilson gave a candid reaction not to the post-game drip but to the in-ring gear of both fighters.
“Mike said he ain’t with that flashy sh-t lol.” The 2x WNBA Champion highlighted the unique outfit of Jake Paul, which he dubbed his “most expensive.” Before the fight of epic proportions, The Problem Child made an appearance on the ‘Talk Tuah’ podcast and explained his gear was worth more than $1 million.
“This outfit that I’ve made for the fight is the most expensive fight outfit in the history of boxing. It’s $1 million. It cost a pretty penny, and it is very shiny. That’s the hints that I will give.”

Before we dive deep into the Youtuber-turned-boxer’s outfit, let’s look at how Mike Tyson turned up. After 19 years and 7,097 days, Iron Mike chose ‘We Don’t Give a F—‘ by Jadakiss, DMX, and Styles P. And a black top with 4 letters LFGO! No wonder, A’ja Wilson and others were feeling confident about Mike Tyson.
Before Mike, it was Jake Paul, who entered the ring with his huge entourage in a lowrider. Similar to WWE superstar Eddie Guerrero, who made himself famous during his stint. The 27-year-old outfit cost upwards of millions because it features 380 carats of VVS diamonds, a bespoke Italian wool suit by David August, and handcrafted designs made in LA. Pairing it with silver boxing shorts covered in diamonds, with Paul’s name emblazoned across the front in glimmering stones.
Just like A’ja Wilson, another South Carolina legend spoke about the fight night. But she wasn’t as relaxed as her former student.

Unlike A’ja Wilson, Dawn Staley rips into the co-main event decision
The fight before Paul and Tyson turned out to be a real barn burner with shots exchanged with equal intensity. Which is why the winner of the match was separated by just one point. However, Dawn Staley made it clear who the winner should have been. “Chile they do this in women’s boxing too?!!! Serrano and it wasn’t even close.”

Amanda Serrano was looking a comfortable victor after Katie Taylor’s apparent headbutt call. But she lost by one point, and after the post-fight, she too wasn’t happy with the decision. “She kept headbutting me, but we knew that from the first fight. Listen, I’m Puerto Rican. I’m going to die in this ring no matter what.”
The challenger even questioned the decision after the match via X. “I landed 107 more punches, she got a point deducted and I lost 95-94 lmfao.” So, in all, it wasn’t the experience the fans were hoping for, with stuttering service from Netflix to the main event being flat and the c0-main event ending in controversy.
