BOXER Rolly Romero wore a £24,000 necklace of HIMSELF before his controversial stoppage win over Ismael Barroso on Saturday night.
The American super-lightweight, 27, suffered his first professional defeat in May last year when he was knocked out by Gervonta Davis.
For the pre-fight press conference before his loss to Davis, he arrived topless in a fur coat and pendant of himself.
He now has had THAT whole outfit moulded into a new piece of jewellery ahead of his comeback this weekend.
Romero showed off the lucrative piece on social media.
And TMZ have claimed it contains 20 carats of round VVS diamonds and 120 grams of 14k yellow gold.

Romero also wore “Channel Orange” custom boxing shoes – which was said to be a tribute to Frank Ocean.
And he took his record to 15-1 with a disputed victory over Barroso.
Referee Tony Weeks was criticised for stepping in too early to stop the contest in Las Vegas.
It came after a barrage of punches from Romero, but very few landed cleanly.

Venezuelan Barroso was having the better of the fight before the questionable stoppage.
Nevertheless, Romero’s win means he is now a two-weight world champion as he claimed the vacant WBA crown at 140lbs.
And he called out Davis for a rematch following his win – while also naming Ryan Garcia as a potential opponent.
Davis, 28, stopped Garcia with a body shot in the seventh round of their highly-anticipated clash last month.
