Jake Paul has been ruthlessly called out by boxing fans for his attempted imitation of a legendary Mike Tyson picture ahead of their fight.

Paul, who scored a big win over Ryan Bourland earlier this month, returns to action on July 20 when he takes on Tyson at AT&T Stadium.

Their Texas clash will be aired on Netflix - with a doctor issuing a health warning to the boxing icon ahead of his ring return.

Tyson, however, looks in supreme shape as he showed off his legendary power and hand speed in a new training clip.

UFC legend Chael Sonnen, though, has questioned the footage shared by the former world heavyweight champion.

Paul, meanwhile, is in confident mood and responded defiantly to Tyson's chilling message.

Ahead of their summer showdown, 'The Problem Child' recreated a picture that he posted online.

He posted an image of himself in white pants, with a tiger on a leash - side by side with Tyson's famous picture, accompanied with the caption: "Who did it better?"

But people on social media have called him out for using a 'fake' tiger.

One X user wrote: "Tyson's wasn't photoshopped."

A second tweeted: "Is that a CGI tiger?"

A third added: "Yours was CGI."

A fourth said: "The photoshopped tiger is comedy."

Another commented: "You look scared of the animal. Tyson looks unbothered. Common Jake L."

At one point, Tyson owned not one but THREE Bengal tigers.

But as they grew, he donated two of the cats to a local sanctuary.

'Iron' Mike received the pets when they were babies, but they got bigger over time.

However, he kept one of the wild cats for 16 years.

Tyson said: "I had to get rid of her when her eyes and her head got bad.

"Oh and she ripped somebody’s arm off."
