Author Leonard Gardner, who wrote the novel ''Fat City'' in 1969,
(later made into a movie by John Huston in 1972), tells in a 2019 interview in the ''Paris Review'' how he met the old pro boxer '''Johnny Miller'''. This was in
Stockton when Gardner was a young amateur fighter himself. Miller's life
and career had similarities with the character Billy Tully in the novel. Miller
had asked Gardner if he would spar, like described in the novel about the first encounter between
Tully and Ernie Munger in the gym. ("You a pro?"). Miller and
Gardner actually sparred a few rounds, Gardner doing well with his
long reach, claimed Gardner.
