Crossword Genius

Factotum one sort of boxer would have (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dogsbody

This clue is a double definition.

'factotum' is the first definition.
(both can mean someone who does lots of jobs)

'one sort of boxer would have' is the second definition.
(boxer is a type of dog)

(Other definitions for dogsbody that I've seen before include "One who has to do all the boring jobs" , "One given menial tasks" , "Put-upon person" , "Menial servant" , "General factotum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
