	Actors - Nosher Powell

Nosher Powell is known both as an actor, sometimes credited as; Freddie Powell, Frederick Powell and Fred Powell, and as a boxer. He was born on 15 August 1928 in Camberwell, London, England.

Powell has had an extensive, but mostly uncredited career in acting, and, in his biography Nosher!, he is described as the ultimate hard man - a boxer, bouncer, minder, a stunt man, and a force to be reckoned with. Apart from his acting career, Powell was a heavyweight boxing champion in the worlds of unlicensed fighting and the professional arena, fighting with Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali and bare-knuckle champion Roy 'Pretty Boy' Shaw. In seventy-eight professional fights "Nosher" was never knocked out.
