Boxing Coaches & Trainers

Tom DiFrancesco

Professional & Amateur Boxing Trainer
Retired Professional Boxer

Tom’s father was a police officer and boxing trainer in Baltimore MD. Tom put on his first pair of boxing gloves at age 4, boxing with the son’s of his dad’s colleagues.
Tom moved to San Diego at age 12 and boxed in the Boys Club amateur program. He was 16-0 with 11 knockouts then trained off and on over the next 10 years. At age 27 he renewed his competitive juices, training and sparring with most of the top pros in the San Diego area at the time. He had 2 professional fights, both wins, before serious health issues forced him to retire.

When his health issues were resolved he was too old to consider a career as a fighter so he became a trainer and manager of fighters. Tom has trained almost 40 fighters since then and his 2 top pros were ranked #1 & #3 in the world and fought for world titles (Danny ‘Dynamite’ Perez & ‘Smooth’ Rodney Jones). As a trainer & manager Tom’s fighters are 200+ wins with less than 25 losses.
