He's filming a documentary series for the Discovery Channel and he'll be making his debut this Friday (probably Friday morning EST).

From: Idris Elba takes on INTENSE kickboxing session in Thai gym as debut approaches

Idris Elba is edging closer to his professional kickboxing debut after he was snapped in a Thai gym showing off his remarkable transformation.

The British actor, known for roles in The Wire and Luther, is training to become a professional fighter as part of a Discovery Channel documentary.

The three-part show, called Idris Elba: Fighter, sees the 44-year-old travel the globe attempting to hone the art of kickboxing, culminating in an official bout in October.

The Hackney born star was seen to work the pads with welterweight kickboxer Buakaw Banchamek, as well as performing a weights session.

The show is set to air next year and Elba has revealed his immense pride at fulfilling a life-long ambition to fight professionally.

"It has been a lifelong ambition of mine to fight professionally. Entering the ring to further test myself as a human being is a challenge I have been looking to take on for quite some time," he said.
