Andrew Flintoff made a successful boxing debut at the MEN Arena in Manchester, climbing off the canvas to beat Richard Dawson(USA) on a score of 39-38 on Friday Nov 30,2012
Andrew Flontoff (34)entered the ring in a Lancashire cricket shirt and looked confident as he stared down the American and soaked up the applause.
It was a deserved win for the former England and Lancashire fast-bowling all-rounder.
Around 5,000 fans turned up at the Manchester Arena - including a mix of boxing fans, those who followed Flintoff's cricket career and some who were just intrigued to find out how an ex-cricketer could get on in the boxing world.
Some of Flintoff's former England team-mates, including Matthew Hoggard and Steve Harmison amongst others, were ringside to see the man more known for knocking wickets down than fighters
