Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has spoken about his love of boxing, and has described an incident where he got the better of former team-mate Yaya Toure during a play fight in training.
The Brazilian shot-stopper admits he enjoys practicing his punching technique as a way of winding down and taking his mind off football.
And he revealed that his team-mates don't let him punch them anymore because hits are too hard.
'I like boxing a lot. I fight sometimes, I play. Sometimes at the club, when I went to the gym, it was more to train boxing. I didn't like using any apparatus. Just boxing,' he told Brazilian Youtube channel Pilhado.
'Man, I always liked it. I always watch videos on Youtube. There was a time when I even considered hiring a teacher to do some special training. But it's very busy here, there are a lot of games and there won't be much time left.
'Then, whenever I could, I trained a little at the club. Sometimes it's good, when you're stressed, to take the stress out. Playing a little is good for the mind. Relax. Take some of the anger, the weight off the mind.'
And he reveals he once tried a special move on Yaya Toure, and jokes that the Ivorian was no match for him.
'I once played with him in the locker room. I gave him a rear naked choke', he continues.
'We were playing in the locker room and I used to make fun of him, I played with him a lot. I had that freedom because I liked him and he liked me too. We played a lot.
'Then, once in the locker room, we ended up catching each other and I put a rear naked choke on him. He was like "Ed, Ed, stop, stop". I think he's old too. Age weighs a little too.'
Though he insists his team-mates aren't afraid of his punches, he admits that they don't let him play fight with them anymore because he punches too hard.
'Ah, it's respect, it's not fear (laughs). People are sometimes afraid to play with me that sometimes I don't know how to control strength very well and I end up exaggerating a little', he said.
'The guys have already complained that I punch too hard. The right cross has power.
'Sometimes I play, I say "punch me three times I'll punch you once". But people are now aware and don't play anymore.'
