In Stretch's pro career, he won the British Boxing Board of Control British Light Middleweight title in 1988, and defended it once successfully in 1989. Stretch also fought for the WBO Light Middlewieght title, against Chris Eubank, losing by TKO in the 6^th round.

Stretch's most famous bout was as an amateur, however, when he knocked out the 67-0 George Collins live on the BBC program Guinness Record Breakers as Collins attempted a world record.
