So what do we want to see from Freddie as he takes his new path into boxing?
Is it over the top to hope that the Ashes champion might follow Curtis Woodhouse career and have a good level of success in the game. The former blades central midfielder won the English light-welterweight title from Dave Ryan at the end of September and has fought high calibre opponents one being now British champion Frankie Gavin. I don’t think that we will see Freddie fight for an English title but a Masters?
How about the great boxing format of the Queensbury League, Where the boxers fight at a level, based on their skill, from novice to (which Freddie, you are) all the way through to British Queensbury League Champion, at their individual weights.
The main thing that we, the eager on lookers have to remember come November 30th , is that it takes balls of steel to get in that ring and put it all on the line for the glory of the man in white to lift your arm aloft as the victor, in front of thousands of onlookers and for that at the very least we must give Andrew Flintoff our respect.
