Danny Cipriani has posted an Instagram photo after training with heavyweight boxer David Haye as he continues his recovery from injury.
The Wasps fly-half was ruled out for up to 12 weeks with a knee injury in September, but appears to be on the mend.
Cipriani was forced off the pitch in Wasps’ 24-21 defeat by Harlequins and it was later reported by Sportsmail that he suffered a torn medial ligament.

Cipriani’s rehabilitation, though, is not a lonely experience, as he took to Instagram with Haye on Monday evening.
‘Look inside of my soul and you can find gold and maybe get rich’ #kendrick,’ Cipriani wrote in reference to music artist Kendrick Lamar.
The injury was a cruel set back for the Englishman as he eyed a potential recall to the national side, as well as a heavy blow to his struggling team-mates, who sit 10th in the Aviva Premiership with just two victories to show for.

The 29-year-old last appeared for England in 2015 but his dreams of featuring in Eddie Jones’ side look bleak and have added more woes to a career under fire.
Haye meanwhile, who is preparing for his upcoming rematch with Tony Bellew on December 17 at the O2 Arena, shared the same image but with a simpler message.
‘Good to have @dannycipriani87 in the gym today,’ the Hayemaker wrote.
As well as this, Haye uploaded a video to his Instagram story, where Cipriani says: ‘He’s not looking in bad nick.’
‘Of course he ain’t, of course he ain’t,’ Haye replied. At which point the fly-half addressed the camera warning all contenders away from the 36-year-old. A message to Bellew maybe.
