Timeline
George Frederick Bernard Powell (15 August 1928 – 20 April 2013), credited as Nosher Powell, Freddie Powell, or Fred Powell, was an English actor, stuntman and boxer.
His younger brother, Dennis "Dinny" Powell (27 July 1932 - 6 June 2023 ) followed a similar career, acting and stunt co-ordinating many films, as have his sons Greg Powell and Gary Powell.
Powell was given the nickname of "Nosher" while he served in the army.
"Nosh" means food in Cockney slang and was given to Powell due to his large physique.
He disliked his birth name Frederick or Freddie and chose to use Nosher Powell as his screen name.
Powell began his career as a heavyweight boxing champion in the worlds of unlicensed fighting and the professional arena.
He also worked as a sparring partner for Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali, amongst others.
The last fight of his career was against Menzies Johnson in 1960.
Powell won the fight on points, over eight rounds.
According to his autobiography, Powell had a total of seventy-eight fights: fifty-one as a professional, with nine losses, though he was never knocked out.
Boxrec.com, though, lists Powell as losing sixteen times as a professional, with nine of those losses being by KO, two by TKO and five on points.
Powell's boxing career was ended following injuries he sustained after being hit by a lorry in Covent Garden Market, where he was working as a porter.
He later became a boxing instructor in Brixton.
Powell had an extensive but mostly uncredited career in stunt work and acting, including as stuntman in 14 James Bond films.

On 26 April 1972 he was the subject of an episode in the UK version of This Is Your Life.
Powell later became the head of a collective of people dressing as medieval knights.
Powell began the projects because of the lack of stunt work resulting from a industry wide recession.

In the performances, Powell went by the character name of "Frederick of Gaywood".
In 1975, Powell took his "Tournament of Knights" tour to the United States.
He promoted his group's tour by walking through San Francisco in a jousting costume.
In 1987, Powell played a character who shared his name in the film, Eat the Rich.
Powell had known Richardson for some years and he wanted a stunt man who was willing to hang out of a helicopter and knew Powell would be willing.
Powell later recalled that he worried the role would be recast if he could not give a good acting performance beyond his stunt work.
He also acted as a "minder" (bodyguard) for a number of celebrities, including John Paul Getty Jr.. and Sammy Davis, Jr.
