Retired boxer Ray Mancini of the United States has a net worth of $5 million.
Raymond Michael Mancino, who was born in Youngstown, Ohio on March 4, 1961, is famous for winning the World Boxing Association lightweight championship from 1982 to 1984.
Lenny “Boom Boom” Mancini’s son, Ray, inherited his athleticism and unique etiquette.
After a successful amateur career, Ray Mancini moved to the professional scene in 1979.
His whirlwind punching style caught the attention of network executives at multiple American television networks, leading to his regular appearance on their sports programming.
During this period, Mancini emerged victorious against renowned boxers such as Norman Goins and Jose Luis Ramirez.
In 1981, he attempted to win his first world title against WBC Lightweight Champion Alexis Arguello.
Despite losing to Arguello in the 14th round after a strong effort, Mancini remained committed to his dream of becoming a champion. He won the title for both him and his father in a match against Arturo Frias in the middle of the season.
On four occasions, Mancini managed to defend his WBA lightweight title, one of which was a resounding victory over Duk-Koo Kim, who later died in a commotion.
Mancini lost his title in a 1984 battle with Livingstone Bramble in Buffalo, New York, while still in the process of healing from Kim’s death.
Mancini retired after suffering a rematch against Bramble in 1985, losing by a narrow decision.
“Boom Boom” had two more fights, with the former being contested by Hector Camacho in 1989 (L12) and the latter being contested by Greg Haugen in 1992 (KO by 7-7).
Haugen’s victory over him sealed his boxing career for eternity.
After retiring from boxing, Ray had a record of 29-5 and 23 defeats, but he went on to produce a few more films.
