Andrew Flintoff
Although only participating in one match, the all-round cricketer who played for the England National team, as well as overseas, won that match! Flintoff surprised all fans when he appeared inside the ring in 2012 after spending 11 years on the cricket field. The former England skipper faced the American boxer Richard Dawson and had a stupefying debut that made fans crave more. Will we see him inside the ring again? The 47 years old who is now a television and radio presenter never officially hung up his gloves, so we can still hope for a new match.

Sonny Bill Williams
The Oakland, New Zealand born, professional rugby player, Sonny Bill Williams, is lesser known as a boxer, although he actually spent some time in the ring as a heavyweight boxer. He began his rookie year in 2004 and even won the RLIF Award for Rookie of the Year. Williams had a stalwart 7-0 record after he won all of his matches. He was named as the New Zealand Professional Boxing Association Heavyweight Champion, and World Boxing Association International Heavyweight Champion, but unfortunately, he was stripped of these titles after he didn’t answer to a challenge. Williams had his first rugby match in 2009, and during his rugby career, he stated that boxing definitely helped make him a better athlete and helped build up his confidence on the rugby field.
