Here comes ‘Singy Ali’: Tarrus Riley gets into boxing

Jamaican

singer Tarrus Riley has been living healthier with diet and exercise, and now

he’s trying his hands at boxing.

On Thursday,

decked in boxing gloves, Tarrus shared that he has decided to try boxing.

Showing off some foot and hand movements that he probably learnt on the day, he

said: “Yes, Thursday. Wi deh ya enuh. Singy Ali, yuh hear dat. Mek sure yuh up

and… Mi nah hurt nobody man, a music mi sing.â€

Pretending

to take a jab, he mumbles: “But don’t ramp wid wi.â€

He captioned

the post, saying: Happy Thursday. Singy Ali inna di Building Ÿ¤£ #LiveItUp.â€

In a now-deleted post that was also shared on Thursday, Tarrus suggested that it was his first time doing boxing as he sparred with a trainer.

As expected,

many people who viewed Tarrus’ post made references to boxing legend Muhammad

Ali.

“Fly like a

butterfly, sing like Riley,†one social media user said.

“All time

champ singy Ali. The only beatn him eva take was from his motha,†another

added.

One person

followed, saying: “Yes…punch out the bad vibes…only good vibes we want right…love

ya!! Babeâ¤ï¸â€

As he tries

his hands at different things, music continues to go well for Tarrus, as his recent

album, Healing, is doing well. In addition, the music video for Lighter,

a collaboration with Shenseea that is also on the album, has racked up more

than 16 million views on YouTube since being released last month.
