Boxing world brands Flintoff's debut bout 'disgrace'

Andrew Flintoff's boxing debut received a contemptuous chiding from many quarters of the professional boxing world with British promoter Frank Maloney labelling it as a circus.

Maloney also called on the British Boxing Board of Control to take a look at its decision to grant the former cricketer a licence to enter a boxing ring.
