RIO FERDINAND had a training partner for his latest gruelling gym session as girlfriend Katie Wright worked up a sweat with him.
And the former Manchester United and England man appeared to get somewhat “distracted” during his workout.
Ferdinand is in training ahead of making his professional boxing debut – although a date is yet to be set for this.
And in this clip shared in Instagram, the ex-footballer was joined in the makeshift gym by former Towie babe Wright.
The clip starts with Ferdinand lifting a kettlebell above his head, while Wright works out in the background.
She then joins Ferdinand on the kettlebells, with the pair synchro-exercising.
Rio decides to take a rest and heads to the workout bench. But he still wants to take a keen interest – in his girlfriend.
As Katie continues with the kettlebell swings, Rio finds it difficult to take his eyes off his stunning other half.

He then jumps up to give a helping hand to his workout partner, but she is having none of it.
In October SunSport reported how the 39-year-old will have just ONE boxing bout with the financial backing of a betting company.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Ferdinand said: “I want to see if I can get a licence and become a professional and have one fight.
“I am not looking to have a career here. I am looking to have a professional fight and I will see where I go then.
“This is not a joke. Hopefully, I will get a license, go on to become a professional and fight someone.
“Boxing can’t be a gimmick. If I take it lightly, I will get hurt.”
