    I've heard about a few boxers who play instruments and sing (and rap). Moore, Duran, Griffith, Frazier, etc.

    Red Garland, Miles Davis' pianist in the 50's, was a boxer, supposedly fought SRR. I don't know under what name he boxed.

    Jack Johnson played the double bass celo to a high standard.

    Ermilo Spalla was a ranked contender and later renowned opera singer.

    Jem Mace was a superb violinist, who could even replicate the cries of various song birds with his violin!
