The boxer, Ellis, from Leeds, who grew up on a council estate, learnt how to play piano through schemes from the local council.

He says that the reason why he works so hard at the piano is because he has "nothing to fall back on".

Ellis amazed judges on the Channel 4 show which aired on Sunday, April 28, 2024 and likened boxing to playing the piano.

He played a rendition of Chopin's Ballade No.4 at Manchester Piccadilly.
