Andrew Flintoff successful start to boxing career
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2012 12:08 pmFORMER England cricket captain Andrew Flintoff celebrated a winning start to his boxing career when he beat American heavyweight Richard Dawson on points.
The 34-year-old was floored in the second round of a lively affair but after dominating the other three rounds had his hand rightly raised in victory on a score of 39-38 on the referee's scorecard.
It was a deserved win for the former England and Lancashire fast-bowling all-rounder who dropped three-and-a-half stone to weigh in at 15st 6lb for his first foray into boxing after a five-month training camp with former world featherweight champion Barry McGuigan.
