The unavoidable truth is that whenever Wayne Bridge’s name is mentioned, John Terry will probably follow swiftly afterwards.The pair’s very public falling out is something that many football fans immediately think of whenever they remember Bridge’s career.There were, of course, many highlights. He won the Premier League with Chelsea in 2004-05 and was named in the PFA Team of the Year in 2001-02.Bridge, who retired in 2014, also played for the England national team on 36 occasions.It’s easy to forget about Bridge’s accomplishments considering he’s rarely been in the spotlight since hanging up his boots - barring an appearance on reality show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! - but he had a career that many will be envious of.Football fans might be surprised to know that Bridge’s latest venture has taken him into boxing, where he appeared in a charity boxing match in aid of Sport Relief.The former left-back revealed on Twitter before the fight that he spent 10 weeks training for his bout against reality TV star Spencer Matthews and it showed.

Bridge won his charity boxing fight

The referee stopped the contest to allow Matthews time to recover on a couple of occasions during the three-round contest after Bridge launched a flurry of punches.

Nobody was surprised when the referee raised Bridge’s hand at the end, the 37-year-old winning by unanimous decision.

“The hard work paid off 💪🏻 massive thanks to @Sammboxing for all his help along the way, my friends & family for all the support and massive respect to @SpencerMatthews for stepping in the ring for a great cause 💪🏻🥊 @sportrelief #celebrityboxing,” a jubilant Bridge tweeted after the win.

Not bad. Although this wasn’t Bridge’s first rodeo; he’s appeared in charity boxing fights before.

Both deserve a ton of credit for stepping into the ring and raising money for a great cause.

Earlier in the week, Bridge admitted that one of the reasons he decided to get involved in Sport Relief was to fill the void left by his retirement from football.

“When your whole life has been set out for you in terms of training up to that point, it’s a difficult thing to get your head around,” he said.

“I can see easily how people can end up going down a dark path. You don’t know what’s going through their head. You don’t know their personal life and what they’re going through at that moment in time. You just see them as a footballer.

“There just isn’t enough support for ex-players. That’s one of the main reasons I got involved in Sport Relief.”
