So many rappers claim that they have a fighter inside them, but only some of them can actually fight. And Wiz Khalifa is one such artist.

Cameron Jibril Thomaz, aka Wiz Khalifa, is a talented rapper, but in one of his latest Instagram posts, he shows how good a fighter he is. In the video, Khalifa is seen in a boxing ring enjoying pad work session with someone who looks like his trainer.

“6,000 ft up and still puttin in work,” said the caption. 

Khalifa told Men's Health that he started taking an interest in martial arts in 2017 and started training with Muay Thai and mixed martial arts trainers to build muscle. He created a dedicated routine which includes getting up at 6:00 A.M. most days, taking his son to school, and then hitting the gym.

His training involves focusing on different muscle groups every day, and includes one hour of weight training followed by one hour of MMA training. According to the 38-year-old, the strength helps him perform better.

"I look buff as h*** on stage. I always had good energy—now my body looks amazing. Exercise definitely helps me focus, slow things down, work on the smaller things, and be more patient."

He started training with Rigan Machado to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu and eventually moved to a gym in L.A. to learn Muay Thai. The clip shared on Instagram was from one of his sessions, and managed to raise some eyebrows among his fans.
