Pre-season training continued at the Ricoh Centre on Tuesday morning as the players completed a gruelling boxing session in the warm-up area of the gym.

Each player grabbed a partner and completed different combinations before switching and the other did the same. The strain of the hard work became apparent on the players' faces as the session continued, lasting over half an hour.

While some boxed, others hit the bikes and sweated it out by working through various settings.
