‘Day 1 of Hell Week with consisted of 3+ hours of high-intensity, tempo cardio, over 600 push-ups, tons of chest exercises, stairclimber/assault bike/rowing/elliptical and then repeat,’ Goggins wrote on Instagram.

‘Tony is giving everything he has and is officially back in the lab! Stay hard!’

Goggins, who has become a motivational author and speaker with a following of millions in America, has previously helped fighters in the build-up to bouts.

He worked with Jon Jones ahead of his fight with Ciryl Gane in March, which saw the American return from a three-year absence to claim the UFC heavyweight title.

Goggins previously worked with boxer Kell Brook ahead of the Briton’s WBO welterweight title fight with Terence Crawford in 2020.

Ferguson will hope Goggins can boost his fortunes following a run of defeats in the UFC.

His losing run began with a defeat to Justin Gaethje in 2020, which saw him vacate the interim UFC lightweight championship title.

He has since suffered defeats to Charles Oliveira, Beneil Dariush, Michael Chandler and Nate Diaz, before losing to Bobby Green in his most recent bout in July.
