He attended the town's Cowley High School. A left-handed fighter, Stretch boxed most of his career as a light-middleweight, rising to become British champion in that division. Stretch's biggest fight came in 1991 when he challenged Chris Eubank for the WBO world middleweight championship in London, in a fight billed as "Beauty V The Best". Stretch suffered a cut behind the ear in the first round and was shaken by an uppercut in the third. Eubank was down twice in the fight, in the second and third rounds, but on both occasions was judged to have slipped by the referee. In the sixth round Stretch had a point deducted for pushing Eubank onto the canvas; Stretch was then shaken by a right hand from Eubank who subsequently knocked Stretch down twice. The fight was stopped in Eubank's favour after the second knock down. All three judges had Eubank ahead on the scorecard at the time of the knockout. Stretch fought only once more after his bout with Eubank before retiring with a career record of 23 wins to 2 LESS
