Mark Chamberlain quits plastering for boxing
Posted: Friday, May 10th, 2024
The undefeated WBA Intercontinental lightweight champion was plastering houses until a year ago, BBC reported. Mark struggled to balance working a nine-to-five job with wanting to achieve his dreams. "You need to be training two or three times a day. You can’t be working because it’s too much. "I was getting up at five am to do my runs, finishing a day of work, and then I wasn’t getting home until near nine at night,” he said. He turned professional 12 months ago and now trains two to three times a day as he seeks to advance his career. Mark’s transition from plastering to professional boxing was made possible by the support of his sponsors. Their financial backing allowed him to quit his job and focus on his training, a crucial step in his career progression.
