Preparing for the fight
The blogger has been passionate about boxing for a long time, and engaged in it professionally. In July 2023, he challenged 24-year-old fighter Tommy Fury. This fact greatly pleased his army of fans.

Creation of the golden masterpiece
The cost of the precious item is about 41 thousand pounds or 50 thousand dollars. 24K gold was used to make the mouth guard. The order for the creation of the accessory came from the blogger immediately after the date of the fight was confirmed. 16 highly qualified specialists took part in its creation.
