BiographyBorn in Dunstable, England, also known as "Cliffy Field" and "Iron Man", was a professional boxer between 1968 and 1971. He achieved greater renown after this on the unlicensed circuit. Among his victims was the self-proclaimed "Guv'nor", Lenny McLean, who was knocked out twice by Field. In a 1982 bankruptcy case, McLean described Field by saying "He [Field] looked as though he had come out of the mountains. He was six foot seven inches, weighed 19½ stone and was as strong as a horse" (although footage of the two fighting would indicate this is to be a gross exaggeration, possibly an attempt of McLean to excuse his alleged loses.)
