Will job ad be a big hit for boxing rivals?

A British fighter has taken a boxing rivalry to new levels by placing a job advert on behalf of an upcoming opponent in his local paper.

Sky Sports revealed cruiserweight Isaac Chamberlain paid for a slot in Thursday's Hackney Gazette requesting an alternative job for fellow Londoner Lawrence Okolie following their grudge fight at The O2 arena tomorrow.

Chamberlain kindly drew up a CV for Okolie, mocking references to his past employment at a fast-food restaurant, and a defeat at the 2016 Rio Olympics Games.

And referring to Okolie’s education, the CV reads: “Can now count to 10 after being dropped by Chamberlain.” What a charming gesture – I’m sure Okolie will take his opponent’s efforts writing his job ad in the spirit for which it was intended… hmm, let’s see after the result on Saturday.
