      Paul achieved the feat after wearing his 1998 Japanese Illustrator card on a chain for his WWE debut in April 2022.
      He wore the “Gem Mint 10” graded card alongside The Miz in a tag-team match against Rey and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 38.
      Over a year on, he recalled the purchase on the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast.
      During a discussion about Pokemon cards with guest Prince Royce, Paul explained: “I love it. I love it dude.

      “I mean if you like video games that doesn’t surprise me but yeah I spent $5.3million on the card. It’s crazy.”
      He later went on to explain why some cards are worth so much.
      “That’s the thing with the grading,” added the YouTuber turned wrestler.
      “These numbers you guys are hearing, PSA three, PSA four, like it’s one through 10 and if they have the smallest little fragmented one documentation, like any little thing it’ll ding at a point.

      “So to find a perfect 10 is insane and it’s the only thing besides, not even the actual card itself, the condition is the most important thing that determines the card’s value and it’s hard to get a 10.”
      Singer Royce then asked: “Do you think that the new certification is for real though?
      “Like do you think the new certifications are much harder? Like the graders are grading harder now than before? Because they’re saying ‘yo fake a 10 but it’s really nine or whatever’.”
      Paul responded by adding: “I totally think that. First off it’s done by humans so a person sitting there can change the value of your card from $30,000 to $250,000.”
      A keen Pokemon card trader, Paul has built an impressive collection of the items.
      He previously wore a £100,000 shiny Charizard for the ring walk before his exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather in 2021.
      However, the total value of his collection is unknown, although Paul did once reveal he had lost £2.8million on fake Pokemon cards.

      by

      KSI got a bottle of Prime to the face
      It came after Prime launched in Denmark
      And KSI sent the crowd wild when he screamed: “Drink Prime.”
      And it appeared some fans went a little too crazy as they began to spray the beverage everywhere and chuck bottles at the celebrity duo.
      Security did their best to fend them off but one was so perfectly aimed it bounced right off KSI’s bonce.
      The YouTube star gave credit where credit is due as he tweeted: “That Prime bottle to my head was pinpoint.”

      As it turned out, the marketing geniuses set the whole thing up and actually asked fans to lob the bottles – so long as they were empty.
      KSI, 30, and Paul, 28, took a tour of Europe stopping off at Munich, Barcelona, Copenhagen and finally Oslo.
      During the trip, they announced a partnership with LaLiga champions Barca, having already sponsored Arsenal and the UFC.
      The hydration drink was released to much fanfare in 2022 causing a craze, especially in the UK.

      Due to the limited UK stock upon its early release, fans were quite literally fighting in shops to get their hands on bottles.
      But now almost all major supermarkets in the UK sell Prime, including Tesco.
      KSI’s history with Paul goes back to their 2018 boxing match, which ended in a draw.
      It resulted in a rematch which KSI won a year later when they controversially turned professional in America.
      He is now six bouts in as a boxer and is in talks to next fight Tommy Fury, 24, who beat Paul’s brother Jake, 24, in February.
      Meanwhile, Paul has extended his WWE contract and has a spot in this year’s Money in The Bank pay-per-view, on July 1.

      The 26-year-old has even offered to face the Irishman in the cage as well as the ring.
      And McGregor’s old sparring rival Malignaggi fancies Paul’s chances against the ex-UFC champion in both boxing and MMA.
      He told Lord Ping: “Jake just needs the ability to hang in there and he can start to trouble him a little. He can put himself in the position to win the fight.
      “I think McGregor’s boxing is brutally bad, but at this point, even in MMA, if you hang with him he will get uncomfortable.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Malignaggi has rowed with McGregor ever since their infamous sparring sessions in 2017.
      They sparred before the McGregor’s crossover blockbuster against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, which he lost in ten rounds.
      But after images and videos were leaked – including a disputed knockdown – the American stormed out of the camp.
      Malignaggi, 42, has rivalled McGregor, 34, ever since and continues to aim digs his way.

      He said: “Jake has a high school wrestler background so he would not be totally out of his element in the cage.
      “He’d need to be alert to his kicks, but McGregor had absolutely no balls.
      “If you make him just a little bit uncomfortable, you are going to put yourself in a position where you might win the fight. 
      “You can make him uncomfortable by beating on him – or if he’s beating on you – if you just hang in the fight he begins to get nervous and paranoid – he’s not a true fighter.
      “He looks for the first window to jump out of. He’s got athletic ability but his anxiety levels get high. That’s why he gets so tired in fights.
      “This guy posts pictures of him running up mountains, swimming 25 miles, bicycling through the desert – just to make himself look like he’s Rocky during training and then he gets in the cage and he’s tired after 30 seconds.
      “He’s got no balls. There’s no way you can get that tired unless your anxiety levels are through the roof. He gets scared in there.”

      And Tommy’s dad and trainer John told SecondsOut: “Well, we’re nearly over the line with that one I think.
      “Me and the Sauerlands, we’re nearly over the line with it. I think it’ll be announced very shortly.
      “Until it’s signed off, nothing’s done, is it? But I’m happy, we’re nearly there. We’ll hopefully get it on this year with him and KSI.”

      Meanwhile, Diaz has gone the full five-round UFC distance over 25 minutes three times.

      He said: “I’m ready, it’s not going to go that long.
      “I think he’s gonna be sharp for a couple of rounds but there’s nothing he can do to stop me.
      “I’m faster, I’m stronger. I’m the better boxer. He’s gonna be coming forward.
      “He doesn’t have head movement. He’s trying to pressure me. He’s gonna get diced up. I see it ending in four rounds or less.”
