Lil Uzi Vert is putting in work both inside and outside the studio. As anticipation builds around their next full-length project, the Philadelphia rapper recently gave fans a look at their boxing training, showing off quick movements and sharp reflexes during a session with a trainer.
The footage was shared by DJ Akademiks after Uzi posted about their fitness progress on their alternate Instagram account, @lifeisarollout. Uzi also used the post to hype up their upcoming music, confidently telling fans that the next album could be one of their best.
In the training clip, Uzi moves around the ring with impressive speed, working through combinations while slipping and weaving around their trainer. The footage quickly caught the attention of fans, with plenty of commenters praising Uzi’s athleticism. Others couldn’t resist connecting the boxing session to some of the rapper’s past conflicts.
One name that came up was Rich The Kid, referencing their well-documented confrontation in 2018. Lil Yachty also appeared in some of the fan discussion, although reports of serious tension between the two artists have previously been downplayed.
Lil Uzi Vert Is Preparing For The Next Chapter
The boxing footage arrives while Uzi continues to build momentum toward their next album. Earlier this year, they released the Maverick “Almost Forever” EP, a shorter project that generated mixed reactions from listeners. Some fans embraced its catchy and energetic approach, while others were more critical of the release.
Uzi has also been surrounding the current rollout with imagery connected to weapons, conflict, and intensity, giving fans plenty to speculate about regarding the direction of the eventual Maverick album. The latest training footage adds another layer to that rollout, though the workout itself appears to be more about discipline and physical preparation than any specific confrontation.
With Uzi clearly focused on getting both their body and music ready, fans are now waiting to see what the next album sounds like. If their recent social media activity is any indication, the Philadelphia star is preparing for another major era.
