    Kali Meehan has spent his entire career as a construction worker as well.

    One of the guys on the first season of The Contender is a lawyer, but can't remember which one.

    Not a fighter, but Steve Smoger is an actual Atlantic City judge when he's not refereeing.

    IIRC, Darnell Wilson is a computer programmer.

    I don't know any boxers' jobs actually but I do have a question...

    When I was younger I fought guys (at amateur status) who had dayjobs officially as military personell, policemen etc, but could train 4 to 6 hours a day and fight at tournaments for price money (a couple of 100's). They were considered semi-pro's.

    If they have day jobs and are "professional" boxers, shouldn't they be considered semi-pro's also, instead of full professionals? :think

    half the boxers in England clean nut sacks at gay bars. I guess you could call that unusual.
