Tyson Fury has been spotted giving advice to heavyweight future star Aleksei Dronov during training in his gym in America.
The 'Gypsy King' is out training in the USA ahead of his planned bout with Anthony Joshua, which is expected to be announced imminently.
Fury's showdown was expected to land on American shores at New York's Madison Square Garden, so he set up camp stateside.
However, it appears the bout will now land on British shores in Cardiff in December, but he has continued his regime nonetheless.
Fury trains with heavyweight in camp
He is already working hard with his trainer Sugar Hill Steward and some other talented individuals surrounding him.
But he has a future star in camp in Russian prospect Dronov.
The young KO artist, who is based in the US, is an exciting talent.
And he has shown it during a brief video, where he has been spotted working out with the British heavyweight.
He is being coached by Fury in the clip, as he goes through some select drills.
The former champion is even heard barking orders at Dronov during a sparring session.
It is unclear if the pair have sparred themselves this time around having shared rounds in the past, but it could be some good work for Fury heading into the Joshua clash.
Who is Aleksei Dronov?
Dronov has a serious set of credentials in the unpaid ranks, winning gold at 2018 Youth Olympics and Youth World Championships.
He has already been spotted in some of Fury's big camps, including helping him prepare for his two defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024.
So far in his career, Dronov has 12 victories to his name in the professional ranks including ten by stoppage.
And the powerful puncher dispatched of his last opponent Ramos Echeverria in one round last month.
It is clear he has talent, and his next fight will see him take on Curtis Harper on October 2 on a Matchroom Boxing bill.
The latest on Fury vs Joshua
It appears after months of deliberation we are now closer than ever to the details for Fury and Joshua's clash being officially confirmed.
Despite Fury's suggestions it may be off at times, an agreement is close to being struck for a duel at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
