Jesse Ryder has said that he wants to take on Andrew Flintoff in a boxing match.
The 28-year-old New Zealand cricketer won his first fight against sports radio host Mark Watson in Auckland in July, while Flintoff began his boxing career by defeating American Richard Dawson in November.
"My people have been in touch with Freddie to try and set up a fight," The Independent quotes Ryder as saying. "I'm keen to get in the ring again so hopefully it will be possible to try and get that on.
"It depends on timing but having a fight between the Test matches (England travel to New Zealand for a three-match Test tour next month) and getting the Barmy Army involved would be great.
"Freddie looked in good shape, he had obviously done a lot of work before his own fight. Between us we must have shed a lot of weight."
Ryder has not played for New Zealand since March 2012.
