    There must be quite a few famous people in various walks of life,who are related to boxers. The ones that come to my mind are - Jean Terrell.who replaced Diana Ross in the Supremes,who's Ernie's sister. Her namesake Tammi (her duets with Marvin Gaye were superb) was the niece of lightheavyweight Bob Montgomery,and Paul Ince footballer is the cousin of Nigel Benn. Who can think of any more ?
