Stracey began his professional career on 17 September 1969, knocking out Santos Martins in two rounds.

Stracey won his first twelve fights, eleven by knockout, but against obscure opposition.

1970

For example, the OPBF (Oriental Pacific Boxing Federation) champion would be given priority over other challengers for world title fights.

1971

Fight number thirteen was against Teddy Cooper, on 19 January 1971.

Cooper was not a big name in boxing either, but this fight ended in controversy when Stracey won by a fifth round disqualification.

1972

Stracey produced five more wins before being matched with Marshall Butler, on 25 May 1972, at the Royal Albert Hall, suffering his first defeat after being outpointed by Butler over eight rounds.

He then put a string of four more wins together, before facing Bobby Arthur for the British welterweight title, on 31 October, at the Royal Albert Hall.

He lost the fight with another controversial ending: This time, Stracey found himself disqualified in round seven.

Stracey then won five more bouts in a row.

1973

At regional level, he held the British and European welterweight titles between 1973 and 1975, and is ranked by BoxRec as the 8th best British welterweight of all time.

In February 1973, Stracey traveled to the United States, were he fought Danny McAloon on the undercard of the first Ali vs. Bugner fight, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, on 14 February.

Stracey won the bout via unanimous decision.

He then met Bobby Arthur in a rematch on 5 June, this time winning the British title with a fourth-round knockout.

1974

Stracey was not the exception, and, after winning five more fights in a row (including a win over Ernie Lopez), he received his first world title shot: challenging WBC welterweight champion José Nápoles, in Nápoles' home-town of Mexico City, Mexico, on 6 December 1975.

Stracey was sent down in round one, but he recuperated to close Nápoles' eye and have referee Octavio Meyran stop the fight in the sixth round, Stracey winning the world championship by a technical knockout.

The new champion declared, "He [Nápoles] could have knocked me down in every round but I'd have won it anyway".
