VIDEO: Mario Balotelli takes on a world champion kickboxer on a train

No play acting between carriages please

The smile is back on Mario Balotelli's face and it seems that all is good in the world once again. The Italian has been far from his best for Liverpool this season, but is beginning to show some signs of life recently as he scored the winner against Tottenham last week and his free-kick led to Adam Lallana's FA Cup winner on Saturday. Balotelli's confidence is so sky high at the moment than he more than held his own against a world champion kick-boxer on  a train over the weekend. The former Inter Milan man posted footage to his Instagram of him doing a little gentle sparring with Giorgio Petrosyan. The world champion kick-boxer more than met his match in Balotelli,who to be fair is a big unit, as they exchange a few playful punches while wearing just one glove each. Brendan Rodgers will be hoping he doesn't try some of his new boxing technique on his team-mates or opponents in the coming weeks: http://instagram.com/p/zH8xR7LjzL/?modal=true
