Joesph Diaz his dad had a decent job with the Teamsters as a Truck Driver. Went to their house about 3 times when they lived in El Monte. My nephew would spar Joesph all the time so I got to know them.
Beibut + those already mentioned. It's less common but certainly not unheard of.
EDIT: I was gonna say JMM but he actually grew up poor, although he was good academically and is a trained accountant. Different question though.
Lots of boxers actually. Just not that noted as poverty tends to help with a hard man image. Guys like Nathan Cleverly who's actually got a degree in mathematics are not as rare as initially thought in boxing.
Boxers son’s like Eubank Jr and Chavez Jr
Pretty sure Marco Antonio Barrera come from a pretty comfortable background. Weren’t his parents lawyers or something? Or maybe in business. I think they were pretty rich.
