Gary Stretch, standing at an imposing 6ft 1 (185.4 cm), leveraged his height to dominate the boxing ring as a former British and WBC International Super Welterweight Champion.
His towering stature gave him a significant reach advantage in the super welterweight division, contributing to his success as an English boxer from St Helens.
Transitioning to acting, Stretch's 6ft 1 frame enhanced his menacing presence in films like Dead Man's Shoes, The Kingmaker, Through My Father's Eyes, and Alexander, where his physicality amplified tough, commanding roles.
