If I learned one thing from watching Luther on repeat, it’s that Idris Elba can throw a punch… or at least he can act like he can. He’s a pretty big guy, anyway. Definitely wouldn’t want to start a fight with him. Then again, I can’t imagine wanting to start a fight with anyone.

Anyway, I digress. Idris Elba. He can fight, as it turns out.

The 44-year-old made his kickboxing debut at York Hall in London the other day and was caught on camera by none other than Madonna… which is pretty weird. I don’t want to give anything away, but, you know, he wins.

This was all for a three-part documentary that he’s filming called Idris Elba: Fighter where he travels the world, learning the history of Muay Thai and kickboxing, taking part as he goes along.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Idris said:

“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.“

The documentary will hit the Discovery Channel early next year.

What do you think? Looking forward to it? Let us know in the comments!
