Mark De Luca, 30
Professional Boxer

Bona fides: I served as a Marine for five years and I’m currently a professional boxer with a record of 22-1 with 13 knockouts. I’m the NABA champion, ranked in the top 10 of the world. A world title opportunity is in the near future.

In your spare time: I love teaching boxing to young people. I also enjoy new restaurants and spending time with my family. Books and podcasts on psychology or human interaction are very interesting to me.

Best feature: My manners or etiquette: Doors being held, not slurping my spaghetti, etc.

Celebrity crush: Robin Wright, circa House of Cards, not Forrest Gump.

Special skills: I’m conversational in Italian and Spanish—not fluent but still learning. And I try to keep a dad joke loaded at all times.

On a first date, you like to: Get coffee and rattle your cage a bit with some bizarre questions.

On a first date, what would horrify you is: Asking me to meet you at a nightclub.

Achievement you’re most proud of: Being asked to be my nephew’s godfather.

Fill in the blank, ‘Boxers do it ________’: For 12 rounds.

Is boxing sexy: I think it attracts a certain type of woman, hopefully a dentist or a nurse.
