Kanku, a male eastern grey kangaroo, has been filmed showing off his skills with a punching bag.
In the video, Kanku was trying to impress one of his favourite females, while another couple of kangaroos lounged on comfy beds, and others grouped around the porch.
The footage comes from Wild2Free sanctuary, which is located on the NSW coast, just south of Batemans Bay.
Carers at Wild2Free specialise in raising and releasing kangaroos in a natural fence-free location.
The sanctuary is split between two adjoining properties totaling 67 and 90 acres a piece.
