Gary Stretch, actor from the movie "Alexander" was a boxer???

[GEOFFHAYES]

Stretch's records is a veritable "Who the **** was he?" of boxing.

He was British champion (which actually meant something back then, as did Commonwealth and European), and probably the most well-known British champion, more people outside of boxing knew Stretch than they did Bomber Graham. He was pictured in glossy mags with glamorous women all the time..
