Cameroonian clubber Ngannou, 36, has yet to officially begin training camp for his professional boxing debut.

But that hasn’t stopped The Predator from putting in the work in the searing Las Vegas heat.

MMA knockout artist Ngannou shared a video of himself wringing out a sweat covered shirt outdoors with his 4.8million Instagram followers.

His accompanying caption read: “Sweat Equity.”

Ngannou’s followers were quick to comment, with one saying: “Bro is probably so strong that shirt is completely dry now.”

Another said: “Sweat? that’s a whole flood.”

And another said: “Trust.”

One remarked: “Smoking that Furry pack real soon.”

Another chimed in: “World heavyweight champion.”

Ngannou’s camp for Fury – which is expected to get underway in the coming weeks – will be overseen by none other than former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

He said: “Bringing Mike Tyson into my training camp is one of the best decisions I can make to prepare for Tyson Fury in the ring.”

Iron Mike said: “It is no secret I back Ngannou 100 per cent in this face-off of champions.

“He has one hard punch, and when it lands, it’s game over.

“I am looking forward to working with Ngannou and supporting his transition from the octagon to the boxing ring.

“He isn’t a combat novice; he is a world champion.

“He knows how to compete when the bell rings.

“But the key will be combining his energy and combat skills into his punches and using his agility to move swiftly around the ring then delivering the knock-out blow.

“We’re here to win.”
