WATCH: King Charles gets a muscular makeover as boxing champion in Bahamas

King Charles III could not contain his laughter after being presented with an unusual T-shirt portraying him as a muscular boxing champion during a visit to the Bahamas Boxing Academy in Nassau.

The monarch was taken by surprise when he spotted the specially designed shirt, which featured a boxing version of himself wearing a crown, boxing gloves and a championship belt, with exaggerated muscles.

The unusual royal makeover was arranged by Jermaine Gibson of the All-Out Boxing Club, who presented the King with the customised T-shirt during his visit.

Charles burst into laughter at the sight of his boxing alter ego before thanking Gibson for the unexpected gift.

Beyond the light-hearted moment, the King took time to interact with young athletes at the academy, where he met aspiring boxers and watched training and sparring sessions.

He also shared some banter with the children, joking about whether his visit had given them the perfect excuse to stay away from school.

The interaction brought a lighter touch to the royal engagement, as the King encouraged the young athletes and observed their preparations in the ring.

The visit formed part of Charles' nine-day Caribbean tour, which includes engagements in The Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda.

The Caribbean tour will conclude in Antigua and Barbuda, where this year's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) is scheduled to take place.
