Workout girl Rita Ora looks a knockout

DON’T mess with Rita Ora — or she’ll floor ya.

The pop star put on a knockout show as she gloved up to practise her boxing skills at an intense workout session at Gotham Gym in New York yesterday.

At one point, the Hot Right Now singer looked out for the count, resting on a wooden pole to catch her breath after working up a sweat.

Rita, 26, hit the gym because she needs to be fighting fit for her hectic work schedule.

She drops her new single Anywhere next Friday, and has said of the track: ‘I’ve never been more proud of anything.’

She gushed: ‘It really represents the urge to break free, which I think is very relevant to what we’ve been through this year.’

And the work keeps coming for Rita, who will host MTV’s European Music Awards at Wembley’s SSE Arena on November 12.
