Then became famous in another area of entertainment.


Tony Danza: 9-3 career record (according to boxrec), and lost to John LoCicero, who was in an unforgettable classic with William Caveman Lee.

Jack Palance: he fought under the name "Jack Brazzo", and lost a decision to Joe Baksi (who fought guys like Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott, and Lee Savold)

Berry Gordy: before he produced legendary films like The Last Dragon, he was a featherweight who fought in Michigan and California. I think he's actually in the California Sports Hall of Fame, although if he didn't produce music, there's no chance in hell he gets inducted.

Billy Joel: amateur boxer
