Boxing fans have ripped into Netflix after they shared training snaps of Mike Tyson and Jake Paul ahead of their fight later this year.

Many have been critical of Tyson and Paul for agreeing to a showdown, especially given the huge 31-year age gap between the pair.
And images published by Netflix have done little to win supporters round.
