Andrew Flintoff has admitted he was terrified when he took up boxing in case his mother hit the roof.
Mum Susan will see the former England cricket captain take to the ring for his first professional fight.
"I'm not sure she was too pleased, or is too pleased. I guess it's one thing watching your son go out to play cricket at Lord's in his whites and another to watch him have a fight," he added.
