Jake Paul says that his 'MVB' belt (acronym for 'Most Valuable Boxer') looks better than the other major belts in pro-boxing and has praised the designer, Alec Monopoly. Paul recently donned the belt at a press conference for his upcoming rematch against Tyron Woodley.

Paul expressed gratitude towards Monopoly and claimed that the $500,000 belt is more prestigious and recognizable than the official boxing belts from the WBC, WBA, and IBF associations.

My “Most Valuable Boxer” belt designed and painted by Alec Monopoly is my $500k Christmas present. 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. https://t.co/tBNkJjWViC

During a face-off interview with Tyron Woodley and renowned journalist Ariel Helwani, 'The Problem Child' spoke about his belt's designer and how valuable his art is:

"I gave it to myself... So, Alec Monopoly, basically the only way to describe him is, he is our generation's Picasso. He designed and painted it. One of his paintings sell for like $200,000, $250,000. It has the Hermes Birkin bag sown into the side here, and it says, 'Most Valuable Boxer' for Jake Paul and then diamond Rolex, and this is one of many."

Paul went further to compare the popularity of his belt to more established titles:

"We want to give these belts to the people we think are the most valuable and make a statement... The general public don't know the difference between the WBC, IBF, the WBO belts. So this is something that they can universally recognize."

Jake Paul will face Tyron Woodley in a rematch on December 18th in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Paul was initially scheduled to fight British boxer Tommy Fury. However, Fury was forced to pull out after injuring his ribs and suffering a chest infection.

Fury's misfortune saw Tyron Woodley capitalize. Woodley has been itching for a rematch with Paul ever since his controversial split-decision loss in their first fight back in August.
