no but I sparred two boxers who would later become world champions after they turned pro. doesn't really count because they were amateurs and I had more experience than them at the time we sparred.

I sparred a dude that's a pro. Not a very good pro, but even the bad pros are tough. He was so hard to hit it was fun though. He fought Mayweather too so it was interesting.

I've sparred two active pros 1 that's a journeyman at 3-5 and the other is ranked top 10 in the uk the journeyman was ok and i felt I gave as good as I got , the better guy was class he was constantly on me and knew what I was going to throw before I did
