'On My Mind' hitmaker Ellie Goulding has revealed that she has become so good at boxing that her trainer thinks she should get into it "for real". 

Speaking to the November edition of America's Marie Claire, the songstress admitted that boxing is something she really enjoys and she's getting "pretty good" at it: "Because I'm left-handed, I have a pretty good left jab, but then I did this uppercut the other day that was just insane."

"Boxing is very animalistic, and there's a lot of adrenaline in it."

She went onto add that her natural ability for the sport has seen her earn an invite into the ring, but she is too busy with her music career right now: "It has helped my stamina. When I'm onstage, I feel like I could go on forever. I've been told I should spar and train for real because I seem to have a bit of a talent for it - but I'd rather go on tour with my face intact."
