24-year-old Gregory McCalium forced his way into the home of 73-year old pensioner Frank Corti and his wife. Waving his kn*fe around, he believed he had found an easy target for the night. He couldn't have been more wrong/ What he did not know was that Corti had spent his early years boxing during his service with the Royal Engineers in the British Army, and was a former champion. When McCalium ran at him with a six inch kn*fe, Corti dodged multiple attempts to st*b him, then responded with a powerful right hook and a quick jab that knocked the younger man to the floor. The retired boxer then easily restrained the intruder and held him there until police arrived to finish the job. Prosecutors later said the burglar's injuries were so severe that he looked like he had been in a car accident. A judge told the intruder he had “got what he deserved” before sentencing him to four and a half years in prison.
