Do you mean active or all time?

Many kick-boxers and Thai boxers tried their hand at boxing.
Loads of BKFC fighters have done mma / boxing / kick / Thai

Two interesting ones that are active
Rico Verhoeven and Tom Aspinall both had one pro boxing fight that they won

There's been a few Glory kickboxers that have dabbled in Boxing. Nicky Holzkien, and there was one that fought recently. I forget his name at the moment, but he was a big name in Glory.

Ricardo Mayorga tried his hand at MMA

If you'd count Bareknuckle as a separate sport, then there's a lot of Crossover in the guys that compete in that. Paulie Malignaggi and Austin Trout are the most notable boxers I know of that have tried it.

Ray Mercer had a handful of MMA fights.

Gary Goodridge had numerous MMA fights, and a few Kickboxing matches.

Almost any Boxer out of Thailand has probably had at least a few Muay Thai bouts as well.
