OLEKSANDRUSYK shadow boxes in the snow to channel his inner Rocky.
The champion unified heavyweight is currently training for the rematch against Anthony Joshua in Ukraine.
Oleksandr Uzyk is getting ready for a spring rematch
He took some time to shadowbox on the snow-covered hill in the blistering cold, but he didn't interrupt his routine.
Usyk shared video footage in which he was wearing a thick jacket and throwing combinations as a fan blows an icy storm into his face.
Joshua's second reign of ununified heavyweight champion was ended by Usyk, a smooth southpaw. He performed a masterclass at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September.
The first date was set for late March, but the second one is now scheduled for April.
Eddie Hearn, AJ promoter, said this week: "April is realistic for that fight.
"Before it is known, it will be February. These fights require a lot organizing."

Usyk had hoped that he would be able to defend his unified titles at home, but his second match with AJ will likely take place in the UK.
Hearn said, "For us, the preferred date for that fight is the UK. In which case, we would need to fight outside. So, we are not interested in that fight happening in March."
"AJ has been training solidly since the fight.
"Realistically, if you begin your training camp in February it becomes very tight even though April is the best date for the fight. However, that's the preferred date and I believe that's realistic."
Usyk, the former undisputed cruiserweight king, noticed something unusual in Joshua's behaviour before their first showdown.
He stated, "I noticed that he was tired after the fight [in Sept]."
"I noticed that Ruiz looked odd before his first fight with Ruiz. It just happens.
"Maybe it's because of some internal reasons. It's not something I want to consider.
"The hands on ropes was not unusual. There might have been other reasons.
"I was surprised more because he was distracted and chewing on his mouthguard as if he were.
"That's why it was so strange to me, but everyone behaves in their own ways."
