KPMG's Bob Seale steps into the ring for charity

Bob_and_clinton Looks like KPMG is putting on the gloves, in a celebrity bout that is sure to attract quality ringside attention as a partner takes on a professional boxing champion.

Bob Seale, the unenviable KPMG man in the ring, is to spar with Clinton McKenzie, a former European and British Light Welterweight Champion and also an Olympic finalist.

There's no doubt Bob's cause is noble - that of the Alzheimers Society - but TS wonders if the money will be needed for the Ambulance Service.

According to justgiving.com, Bob hopes to last 12 three-minute rounds. Twelve! Ouch. That's got to hurt - and it's going to happen on a Thursday evening, 11 October, so don't expect him in the next day.

TS found that in fact J G-J not only knew about his staff member's apparently suicidal plan, but was supporting the fiasco with a generous donation of £100.

According to the website, Bob should be fine as he's been 'taking his training very seriously'.

I hope Clinton took it easy on him! 12 rounds though...wow. I don't know if I can use this specific idea for my cause but the idea of holding such events like this has me thinking. Thanks
