Flintoff going to be a professional boxer

[Triggaaar]

SSN saying Freddy is going to become a professional boxer. Is this old news?

I'd assume it's some naff publicity stunt, but he's apparently done well in training.

Freddy Flintoff is fast becoming an embarrassment

 

[albion534]

Haha Jesus christ, bit like when Mickey rourke became 1

Yea it's a joke... and if it's not it should be.

 

[BLOCK F]

A publicity stunt surely!?

 

[Ernest]

Hope he can stay sober

 

[Tubby Mondays]

On the undercard of Ricky Hattons comeback fight.

?

To be fair given one of the stories swann tells in his autobiography about him I wouldn't f*** with him. Mind you it was a few years back.

Do tell??

Just seen barry mcguigan give an interview on SSN. Seems as though this is all serious! Freddie has lost 27lbs and is training like a nut job to secure his boxing license! Just hilarious

Saw this on Sky Sports News app this morning. Fair play to the bloke. Obviously loves the sport so why not give it a crack? The worst that can happen is he gets KO\'d an gives up.

He must be realllly bored in his retirement.

Or he could get brain damage or die. I'd say that's the worst that can happen! Unlikely.. But boxing has its risks.

Very unlikely - more likely to sustain serious damage with equestian.

I bet he has some punch on him though. It's his life, If that's what he wants to do then who are we to judge

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He can handle the punch as long as he floats like a butterfly and not an ill fated pedalo.

Bit of a cross over trend happening here.

Adam Hollioake cricket to cage fighting.
Sonny Bill Williams All Black to NZ Heavyweight Champion

Maybe not such a crazy idea.

Definitely! He's a proper naughty northerner!!! Anyone watch a league of their own when he is getting stick from some little pikey shits when he was cycling? Brilliant viewing!

 

[Philzo-93]

Double post...

The team that flintoff has around him is a very good set-up. With friends in boxing and knowing how thorough the Mcguigan team are it might not be a bad idea. Boxers who make it have to be clean living so I doubt if Flintoff is serious he would be on the sauce like he used. If he creates excitement like he did when he was on fire at cricket, then he would be great to watch.

How old is he?
