Bobby Lashley looks in superb shape ahead of a potential switch to the boxing ring.

The 48-year-old has had a stellar career in combat sports, reigning as a four-time WWE champion, as well as having competed in MMA under promotion Bellator where he last fought in 2016.

Despite his age, the monstrous star still has kept himself in impressive shape, and has today posted new footage from a training camp.

He is in boxing gloves and has shown he still possesses some powerful hands, unloading some shots on the heavy bag.

In the video, Lashley looks in supreme shape and is showing off a powerful physique with muscly arms.

The veteran then told the camera at the end of the video: “I love fighting, I love getting in there. I’ve fought all of my life.

“To me it is a competition, I love sharpening my skills and I could be dangerous in the boxing ring.”

It is a clear there could be a future for Lashley in a new discipline, after his achievement in wrestling which have turned him into a superstar.

A potential destination could be KSI‘s Misfits Boxing, who have been known to stage fights for those with less experience and celebrity status.

Lashley has revealed that he is open to all opportunities, but talks have already commenced over a boxing debut.

“I'm doing it all," Lashley told The Bo and Them Show. "I look at it this way — first of all, YOLO, you only live once but I have a lot of gas in the tank.

“I'm in great shape. I feel good. I'm motivated. I'm rested. Wrestling, yes. Boxing, yes, MMA, yes. Acting, yes. Everything, yes. But I have a lot of different things going on right now.

"A boxing company called me and offered me a legit matchup. So we're in talks with them, so I've been training boxing.

“I love boxing. MMA is a possibility. Just depending on the offers that do come. Wrestling, I still want to wrestle too.

“I love wrestling and the fans write me everyday, 'When are you coming back? Where are you going? I don't care where you go, we want to be there for you.' So, I love the fans."

Lashley put together a supreme record in the cage under Bellator, fighting to a perfect 5-0 record after inking the contract in 2014.

He then opted to return to competing in WWE, but appears to now again be open to boxing fights.

An opponent is unclear with no official call-out yet issued, but there would be likely a host of other heavyweights waiting in the wings.
