Looking for information on British Heavyweight Boxer Stanley Glen. He fought during the 1920's and 1930's.

In 1924 he fought and won against Kid Moose, Canadian Heavyweight Champion at The Stadium in Liverpool, England. (They met again 6 months later).
In 1927 he fought against Max Schmeling in Hamburg, Germany.

This is all I know at present, and would like to know more about his boxing career.

"(They met again 6 months later)"

At which point the Canadian thrashed him, right? ;)

Kid Moose. Sheesh. Talk about yer stereotyping ...

He seems to have been more famous for whom he fought than for who he was.

Here's a boxing message board, believe it or not:
