Stephen, who wowed Netflix fans with his performance in Boiling Point, was introduced to Jack by their mutual friend Tom Hardy. Jack, who grew up on Scotland Road, is a former mixed martial arts fighter who belonged to the Widnes based Wolfslair team.
Stephen contributed to a documentary about Jack which went out on Amazon, when the Kirkby born star said that he believed the young fighter could make the successful transition from mixed martial arts to professional boxing. In the documentary Stephen said that he believed that Jack could win one day 'win a world title.'
Jack, who fights at light middleweight, said to the ECHO: "I would like to thank my sponsor The Power Of One for their support. And thanks to all my fans."
Merseyside's Martin Murray was in Jack's corner on Friday night. The St Helens man posted a comment on social media which read: "Unforgettable night of boxing with @JackMcGann93 on Friday.
"Getting dropped for the first time ever in the 2nd round and and coming back to win in the 4th. True passion. Big future ahead for this lad."
