John Terry and Robbie Keane workout with heavyweight Dillian Whyte in Portugal

HEAVYWEIGHT world title contender Dillian Whyte put Premier League icons John Terry and Robbie Keane through a serious weight-lifting session in Portugal.

Chelsea legend JT, 37, is staying fit as he looks for a new club after leaving Aston Villa and Robbie Keane, 38, is waiting to return to action with ITK in India.

Whyte wiped out Joseph Parker in July and is biding his time before getting a long overdue crack at the titles currently held by Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

Sharing in an image of the trio on Instagram, Terry said: “Me and Robbie thought we was smashing the weights until the big man come in and starting lifting some serious weights.”

Whyte, 30, cuddled up to Terry added: “Just here working out in a nice gym, lifting weight with the big man.”

Whyte got himself in a war of words with Tyson Fury after he outpointed Francesco Pianeta in Belfast on Saturday night.

Whyte labelled the Gypsy King and potential November WBC champ Wilder cowards for allegedly avoiding fights with the Brixton Body Snatcher.

But lineal king Fury replied with some accusations of his own.

He said: “Cowards??? It could’ve been you!!! But som1 didn’t want to fight the final eliminator vs [Luis] Ortiz did u coward??? So that’s why your not fighting wilder.

"Also let’s face facts here, u struggled with @derekchisora_ & u should’ve lost that by 4 rounds, then @joeboxerparker nearly knocked u out in round twelve.

"U ran away from @whiterhino_21 all night! What have you ever achieved, ow I remember u got sparked by @anthony_joshua for the British title didn’t u!

"The facts are your just a dosser for @eddiehearn hoping u might get something from the leftovers of @anthony_joshua plate.

"& remember who your talking to the Gypsyking the man who has done everything that you could only dream of.

He then added: "#iknowyouras***housedosser. Enjoy being a work man for Eddie."
