“It’s hand painted by one of the greatest artists of our generation and features a Hermes Birkin bag sewed into the side as well as a diamond Cartier and Rolex watch.
“2 days.”

Jake Paul’s pre-fight diet
Paul looks in fantastic shape for his rematch with Woodley later on.
Just take a look below at what he’s been feasting on in preparation.
Jake Paul is cutting no corners with his diet
Paul mocks Fury with t-shirt
Jake Paul had some fun at the weigh-in yesterday in Tampa, wearing a t-shirt which took aim at Tommy Fury.
The t-shirt read: ‘Tommy, this could’ve been you’ with an arrow point in the direction of Woodley, stood to his left.
Paul gifts Woodley a ROLEX
In one of the more bizarre turnouts of the week, Jake Paul gifted Tyron Woodley a ROLEX during their head-to-head for Showtime earlier this week.
Paul said: He said: “As a gift of respect because it’s time for me to knock him out”, as he handed Woodley a wrapped present.
Woodley opened it up and was surprised to see a Rolex waiting for him.
Woodley responded: “I accept your gift. And all the bonuses, I accept it all. And I’m going to do the same thing on Saturday.
“This dude is crazy. Do I know about this watch? Yeah I know about this watch.
“Why wouldn’t I accept it? He put a bow on it and wrapped it, I’m not going to be disrespectful.
“I haven’t had an opponent do a lot of s*** that this dude do. Mentally, it’s warfare because you never know what to expect out of him.”

“I am absolutely heartbroken that I have been forced to withdraw from my fight with Jake Paul due to a bacterial chest infection and broken rib.
“The beginning of my camp was going so incredibly and I never expected anything to come in my way from a victory on December 18.
“I can’t express now disappointed I am and I really do hope we can get this fight rescheduled in the new year.
“I want this fight to happen more than anything.”
Woodley has said: “I feel like I won the [first] fight.
“But when I go back out there and beat his a** and win this fight, win by knockout, then go on to a trilogy and do it again and leave no doubt.
“That’s the real leave no doubt… This is basically what I should have done the first time. The third time [there] will be no doubt.”

Good evening!
Hello there and welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of Jake Paul’s huge cruiserweight rematch with Tyron Woodley this evening in Tampa, Florida.
Paul had originally been scheduled to take on influencer-cum-boxer foe Tommy Fury but the Love Island star backed out of the clash with injury.
So Woodley, who lost via split decision back in August, has stepped in on late notice, and is gunning for revenge.
Woodley rocked Paul to his boots in the fourth round of their bout four months ago but failed to capitalise and ultimately succumbed to the judges scorecards.
This time, the former UFC fighter is coming for war – but so is Paul.
“I’M F***ING HIM UP, I’M F***ING HIM UP!,” Paul told Showtime’s Ariel Helwani at the weigh-in yesterday.
Elsewhere on the card, former NBA star Deion Williams is up against ex-NFL start Frank Gore, while female fighter Amanda Serrano is also in action.
Usual Jake Paul undercard suspects J’Leon Love and Anthony Taylor, who lost to Fury back in August, are on the bill too.
It should be a cracking night of action, so sit back, relax, set your alarms and don’t miss it.
We’ve got you covered through the night.
