Flintoff hails "best personal achievement"

Andrew Flintoff has said that tonight's victory over Richard Dawson in the boxing ring is his greatest personal achievement.

The 34-year-old, who was part of England's 2005 Ashes-winning team, scraped to victory by just one point at the Manchester Arena.

"You talk about the Ashes and things but as a personal achievement, this is the best," Flintoff told BoxNation.

"The feeling of being in there and winning at the end, I can't believe it but I'm not pretending to be something I'm not."

Flintoff, who was making his professional debut inside the ring, has so far refused to commit himself to a second fight.
