Liverpudlian

The former England captain was teed up by a fellow Liverpudlian, actor James Nelson-Joyce from BBC drama This City Is Ours.

The 26-year-old Liverpudlian opted to not renew his contract and is expected to join Real Madrid.

He was one half of one of the most compelling rivalries of recent years, suffering a shock loss to Liverpudlian Liam Smith two months after his cancelled fight with Benn.

The Liverpudlian out-struck and out-grappled America's Chandler in a statement victory as the referee ended the contest following repeated ground strikes.

And he has featured alongside another Liverpudlian, Stephen Graham, in Time, Little Boy Blue, and the recent historical drama A Thousand Blows.
