Ed Sheeran releases music video for Number 1 single Shape of You - watch

Ed Sheeran has released the kick-ass new video for his Number 1 hit Shape of You.

The visual sees Ed bond with a female boxer at their local gym, with the two striking up a relationship over fried chicken and their love of the sport. Ed is left heartbroken when his training buddy leaves for a fresh start, and he channels his frustration into prepping for a big, underground fight... with a sumo wrestler!

It's not long before Ed taps out, but his love interest returns and saves the day with a devastating kick. We wouldn't want to mess with her, nor Ed for that matter - he's pretty formidable on the Official Singles Chart.
