Jake Paul turned into comic book hero called Problem Child ahead of showdown with rival Hasim Rahman Jr | The Sun

JAKE PAUL has been transformed into a comic book character just days before his showdown with Hasim Rahman Jr.

The YouTuber is gearing up for an August 6 clash with his one-time sparring partner, whom he'll throw down with at Madison Square Garden.

And ahead of the grudge match, Paul has been given the comic book treatment by world-famous fight artist Fightposium.

The illustrator – who regularly creates comic book covers for boxing and UFC fighters – dropped his Paul cover on Instagram earlier this week.

The Problem Child issue featured a brilliant cartoon version of Paul overlooking the streets of New York.

Paul, who was dressed in ninja attire, donned a diamond-encrusted PRBLM Child chain and appeared to have nunchucks on his back.

Fight fans were quick to comment on the amazing piece of artwork, with one saying: "Wow."

Another said: "Looks dope for real."

And another said: "This is just straight fire."

One remarked: "This is badass!"

Another chimed in: "Bro this is sick."

Rahman Jr, 31, is the most accomplished boxer Paul will have faced during his brief stint in the sport.

And the former Disney star has vowed to silence his detractors by brutally taking out the son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Sr.

He told ESPN: "I'm literally crazy. "There's no reason why I should be taking this fight.

"I want to prove to the boxing world that I'm a real dog, which I am.

"And I'm going to go in there against this 12-1 kid who is bigger than Tommy Fury, faster than Tommy Fury – all of these things.

"I'm going to put on the performance of a lifetime and just shut everyone up."
