MIKE TYSON is fuming - and it's because people keep sending him photos of a tattooed egg.

But angry is exactly what he is.

The 52-year-old shared a photo on Twitter of an egg with a tribal tattoo design on the side - the same style as the one he sports on his face.

Accompanying the somewhat odd shot, he wrote: "Stop sending me this s***".

His post has been retweeted almost 85,000 times, and has an incredible 376,000 likes.

Unsurprisingly, his response left many people on the social media site in stitches.

Gordon Bruce wrote: "The internet may have seen the rise in terrorism... but then you get gold like this."
