LOGAN PAUL reckons he may have spent a staggering £2.8million on FAKE Pokemon cards.
The YouTuber turned boxer has amassed quite the collection of cards over the years and is no stranger to showing them off.
But avid collectors of the pricey memorabilia have questioned the authenticity of the 26-year-old’s collection, which has prompted him to schedule a visit to authentication company BBCE.
He tweeted: “Update on this: I’m flying to Chicago this weekend to verify the case with BBCE, the company who insured its authenticity. to be continued…”
Paul’s most cherished Pokemon card is his shiny Charizard – which he bought for a whopping £110,000.
The Maverick donned the plastic-covered card as a necklace as he made his way to the ring for his exhibition bout with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather last June.
Paul ended up going the distance with the former five-weight world champion, but his shiny Charizard proved to be one of the biggest talking points among boxing fans.
One tweeted: “Mayweather had Blastoise I take it?”

Another said: “Hey whether it’s stupid or genius it’s pretty fucking cool to see pokemon getting flexed that way.”
And another said: “Imagine being a professional boxer, arguably the best there has ever been, and then having to fight a dude with a bedazzled pokemon card around his neck.”
Another said: “Kinda genius cuz now it’s worth even more ahah.”
One chimed in: “He knew what he was doing, watch him sell it for 10× the cost now.”
In the post-fight press conference, Paul said: “This is a Pokemon card. It’s a BGS 10 Charizard – first edition Charizard.
“It’s one of three in the world, it is my prized possession. Ever since I got this graded a 10, the momentum in my life has been crazy.
“This is my good luck charm, my prized possession. Estimated value, I mean now, s**t, this is a million-dollar card, baby.
“This is the card that I walked out to for the Floyd Mayweather fight. This is a million-dollar card.”
