Leeds boxer, Ellis, 23, wowed Claudia Winkleman, Mika and Lang Lang with his magical rendition of Chopin’s Ballade No.4 at Manchester Piccadilly train station for the second instalment Channel 4’s The Piano.
Ellis learnt to play the musical instrument through schemes from the local council, and likened boxing to playing the piano.
He said: “The discipline you need [for boxing] is very similar to what you need for the piano. You need to be so willing to leave your ego outside to grow and get better.”
