WATCH: Check out Joe Ward coaching comedian Jack Whitehall

Boxer Joe Ward may be preparing for his first bout in the 2016 Olympic Games, but ahead of the Games he took time out to put comedian Jack Whitehall through his paces, as can be seen in this Samsung ad.
The ad, for the Samsung Galaxy S7, entitled ‘School of Rio Lesson 3: Protection’ sees the famous comedian spar with Katie Taylor as Joe gives him advice on what to do.
The ad can be seen here: Twenty-two year old Joe, from Moate, qualified for the 2016 Games by winning a silver medal at last year world championships.
He arrived in Rio two weeks ago and the first bouts in his 81kg weight division will take place this Saturday, August 6.
