Arnold Schwarzenegger and heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko have exchanged a series of shirtless selfies on Twitter. It started with Klitschko, who made it known that he uses Schwarzenegger’s photo as inspiration while he trains. Right now he’s training for his upcoming fight against Alexander Povetkin in Moscow on Oct. 5.
Klitschko first tweeted on Sept. 5:
Ish ... . Lol. Trying to catch u since I'm 12. @Schwarzenegger #stanglwirt pic.twitter.com/YbPDnMxnxH

In response, Schwarzenegger wrote:
.@Klitschko Great shot! It’s fantastic to see one of my favorite champions nailing my pose. Right back at you. pic.twitter.com/PDI3saXqM5

The 66-year-old former governor of California then revealed to his followers on Twitter that after exchanging selfies, he and Klitschko met up for dinner.
“After the Twitter pose-down, I met up w/ @Klitschko for dinner @stanglwirt. Thanks to our great host Maria Hauser,” he wrote, posting a picture of himself with Klitschko, who is dating Nashville’s Hayden Panettiere, and their host.
Daily Mail notes the boxer, 37, first dated Panettiere, 23, from 2009 to 2011. They then reunited back in January, and Panettiere has since surfaced wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger. The couple has yet to confirm reports that they are engaged, though.
