In August, the handsome star had his fans rejoicing when he posed in nothing but his briefs for a sweaty, muscle-bound post-workout selfie. Elba had been working out intensely in preparation for his big fighting debut.
"Cutting weight, two days before first fight, mind in the right place. Fear NO guy," he captioned the pic on Instagram.
