Russell Wilson showcased his six-pack abs and impressive physical transformation during a boxing session on Tuesday. The 35-year-old NFL star shared a video on Instagram of his training session with renowned boxing coach Freddie Roach, who has trained the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. Wilson also posed for a photo with rising Dominican boxer Elvis Rodriguez.
“Back in the Ring,” Wilson captioned the post. “Started in 2018 through 2020. Had some of my best years. Then COVID hit in 2020 and I couldn’t continue. Good to reconnect with my team.”

Wilson recently signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers after a turbulent stint with the Denver Broncos. His four-year contract with the Broncos was cut short due to two underwhelming seasons. The nine-time Pro Bowler was informed of his impending release, allowing him to explore other opportunities.

In addition to Wilson, the Steelers also acquired rising star quarterback Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin has indicated that Wilson, as the veteran, is in the lead position to start, while Fields will serve as his understudy and gain valuable experience.

However, Fields has made it clear that he intends to compete for the starting role. “I’m definitely competing,” Fields stated during OTAs in May. “Russ knows that. We’re pushing each other every day. I don’t plan on just sitting all year.”
Wilson and Fields will be key players for the Steelers as they aim to improve on their 10-7 record from last season and move up from third place in the AFC North division.
