Boxers who work other jobs

[margaret thatcher]

What notable boxers past or present worked other jobs while boxing? I'm sure it's been lots but just curious for examples

Joe Smith I think beat Hopkins while having another job

[Terminator666]

Rendall Munro on the bins- Tony Thornton postman- Ricky Burns sports shop- Billy Hardy leisure centre
I think Holyfield was a petrol pump attendant in his early days

[Verdi]

Pacman

[bigjack]

Colin Jones-grave digger
Tony Sibson- plasterer or builder ?
Steve Robinson- storeworker ?

[Boxing Prospect]

Pretty sure Sho Kimura was a delivery man when he won the WBO Flyweight title

Kinoshita worked in the hotel that host his bout against Tete (even that advantage didn't help)

[orbtastic]

JonJo Irwin. Council carpenter. Think he even made coffins for a bit.

[Webbo911]

Amazed at some of the guys who graft full time, train on the side and still manage to get to title level.

Always root for them over the lads who can afford to box full time with sponsors and top promoters.

Terry Marsh was a fireman, a few postmen out there too.

[Boxing Prospect]

Ryo Sagawa is a salesman for a sweet company!

[Coco]

There are a few which work for MTK as well

[MasterG]

Mark Bennett

Paving, tarmacing, shunter

[Delta Jay]

Andrew Cancio beat Alberto Machado for the WBA Super Feather on a Saturday night and was tarmacing roads on the Monday. Madness.

Ricky Burns worked in JD didn’t he. Think Tyrone McCullagh is a nurse. Mike Tyson was a full time fornicating nutcase.

Andy Till....baggage handler at the airport and also a milkman if I remember rightly

[CaptainSpacerod]

Terry Marsh was a fireman, a few postmen out there too.

And a part time contract killer

Richard towers provides cleaning services... ironing mostly

I thought he was a house painter

[Boxerbeetle]

Wasn’t Josh Warrington a dental nurse or something for most of his early career?

[Noxy]

Stretch modelled, Reid too. I think Gary Cooper has a job, can‘t remember what.

[margaret thatcher]

And the Ingle gym dudes who post here will tell you that he was a crap dental nurse too. I hear that he wasn't very gentle around the gums

[forcefraser]

Yousef Mack did a bit of work on the side.

[margaret thatcher]

[Roco]

Wasn't Duke McKenzie a messenger or something whilst world champ.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Pretty sure Steve Robinson was on the dole just before become world champion.

[jonnyyorkshu]

There are a few which work for MTK as well

[johnty1888]

Pretty sure Steve Robinson was on the dole just before become world champion.
