Tom DiFrancesco
Professional & Amateur Boxing Trainer
Retired Professional Boxer

Tom's father was a police officer in Baltimore MD and was also a boxing trainer at the local police academy. At 4 years old Tom put on his first pair of boxing gloves and would box with the son's of his dad's colleagues at the local gym on weekends.


Tom moved to San Diego when he was 12 and started boxing at the local Boys Club in their amateur boxing program. He was 16-0 with 11 knockouts as an amateur over the next few years then continued to train off and on over the next 10 years before renewing his competitive juices at the age of 27. Tom trained and sparred with most of the top pro fighters in the San Diego area during this time and had 2 professional fights, both wins, before serious health issues forced him to retire.

By the time his health issues were resolved he was too old to consider renewing a career as a fighter but his love of boxing motivated him to become a trainer and manager of fighters. Tom has trained almost 40 fighters since then and of his 4 top pros 2 fought for world titles (Danny ‘Dynamite’ Perez & ‘Smooth’ Rodney Jones) and the other 2 were ranked #1 & #3 in the world. As a trainer & manager Tom’s fighters have won over 200 fights with less than 25 losses.
