Jesy Nelson shows off boxing skills in the ring as she throws punches in sweaty workout
JESY Nelson showed she could pack a punch as she returned to boxing training.
The former Little Mix band member, 29, filmed herself throwing right and left hook punches at her trainer, before expertly dodging a follow-up from him.
Wearing a T-Shirt depicting late RnB star Aaliyah and black Adidas leggings, Jesy pulled her brunette locks into an up-do so they were out of the way for her workout.
In her caption, she wrote: “We back at it,” followed by a boxing glove Emoji icon.
Later, she zoomed in on a poster in the Essex studio which read: “Success belongs only to those who are willing to work harder than anyone else.”
After all her hard work training, the DNA singer rewarded herself with a Nando’s takeaway in the park.
From April 12, Covid-19 guidelines in the UK allowed for 1:1 fitness sessions with trainers, or individual workouts, as gyms re-opened.
Jesy was retreating to the ring for a break from her solo projects, after The Sun exclusively revealed she is at the centre of a £2million record contract bidding war.
We reported how several record labels are all desperate to get her talent on board.
The battle for her signature as a solo artist comes after she left the girl band last year.
She has since been in the studio recording her own stuff.
A well-placed source tells us: “Jesy’s tracks have got the music industry in a spin and she has big-money offers on the table from a few key record labels all desperate to sign her.
“It’s an exciting time for Jesy as she’s in a great place and has loved being creative in the studio.
“If all goes to plan she’ll have music out this year and will have some sure-fire hits. The world is her oyster.”

Jesy has been working with songwriters Patrick Patrikios and Hanni Ibrahim, who helped pen Little Mix’s 2016 hit single Touch and 2018 album LM5.
In December, after nine years in the group Jesy said as she announced she was leaving: “I need to spend some time with the people I love, doing things that make me happy.
“I’m ready to embark on a new chapter in my life. I’m not sure what it’s going to look like right now, but I hope you’ll still be there to support me.”
Earlier this week, Jesy looked sensational as she glammed up for her “first night out” as coronavirus lockdown rules eased.
