Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 41, shows off incredible ripped physique as AC Milan star posts Christmas message from boxing ring

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC proved he is still a physical beast as he showed off his ripped body.

The AC Milan striker took the term Boxing Day very literally as he stepped into the ring on the day after Christmas to post the photo.

Ibra looked shredded in his boxing gloves as he tensed his grater-like abs, powerful pecs and bulging biceps for the camera.

And in typical Zlatan fashion, he could not resist a cheeky message.

The giant Swede captioned the Instagram post for his 57.1million followers: “Merry ChristmaZ to you and your wives! Ciao.”

The image has been liked by more than 1.9m people – and plenty jumped into the comments to praise Zlatan’s body.

MMA fighter Paulo Costa wrote: “Looking amazing and sharp.”

Another replied: “The guy is 41, how can he even be in a shape like that?”

And a final user asked: “A fighting career after football?”

Zlatan is somehow still going on the pitch despite turning 41 in October.

The striker scored eight goals for AC Milan last year as he helped the Rossoneri win Serie A.

However, he has not played this season after undergoing surgery on his knee.

Zlatan and wife Helena Seger were spotted looking unimpressed at the World Cup final in Qatar earlier in December.

That came after the ex-Manchester United man posed for an all-star photo alongside 2018 winner Paul Pogba, retired UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov and tennis great Novak Djokovic.
