The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson matchup takes place this Friday, and 'The Problem Child' has taken to emulating 'Iron Mike' on Instagram. He uploaded a black-and-white photo collage on the social media platform, during which he did his best to mimic some of Tyson's most well-known pictures.
The majority of the pictures on the post are of the two men in their respective training camps. One of the pictures though is a post-fight image of a young Tyson. Though whether Paul is playing mind games or paying homage to a legend of the sport is known only to him.

The pair's boxing match will be contested at heavyweight, where Tyson became one of its greatest ever fighters. To this day, he remains the youngest heavyweight boxing world champion in history, capturing the belt at just 20 years old. Come fight night, Paul promises to emulate Tyson, captioning his post with:

"Like Mike. 3 Days."

Paul intends to eventually capture a world title of his own. Many, however, doubt his ability to do so given the caliber of opponents he has fought.
While he has managed to beat several over-the-hill MMA fighters and journeymen boxers, the one time he faced a decent boxer his age, he lost.
Tommy Fury dragged him to a competitive split-decision loss in February last year.
Jake Paul is yet to match Mike Tyson professionally
While Jake Paul's mimicry of Mike Tyson in a photo collage is certainly a statement, 'The Problem Child' has not come anywhere close to reaching the same professional heights that Tyson did. Paul is yet to hold any title of significance, while Tyson is a well-regarded all-time great.
Check out one of Mike Tyson's greatest accomplishments:
The legendary heavyweight reigned as the division's undisputed champion for three years and was undefeated in his first 37 fights.
