Chris Eubank Jr has his first world title fight coming up in the first few months of 2017 and as he prepares for war, he's made an odd choice of sparring partner.
Dizzee Rascal has been in the gym with Eubank Jr and David Haye over in Miami, with footage on Instagram showing the Boy In Da Corner rapper even going toe-to-toe with Eubank inside the ropes, albeit at a pretty tame pace.
Dizzee Rascal used to be a regular at David Haye's gym.
This isn't the first time Dizzee has set foot inside the squared circle. He was trained by David Haye in a show for Sky 1 back in 2011, at which point Haye spoke about Dizzee's talent in the ring:
"The guy knows his stuff: he can 'ave it, he's fast, powerful, very heavy-handed. He gets in there and lets his hands go. I teach him some boxing and I've sparred with him. Trust me, he can do it."
Eubank Jr is counting down to a fight for the IBO super middleweight title against little-known puncher Renold Quinlan, which will be the first ever fight on ITV Box Office, the station's new pay-per-view platform.
