Where is Juan Manuel Marquez now?

Juan Manuel Márquez Méndez is a Mexican former professional boxer who competed from 1993 to 2014. He is known for defeating Manny Pacquiao.

He was on August 23, 1973, in Iztacalco, Mexico City, Mexico.

He grew up in a rough and poor area of Iztacalco, many of his friends succumbing to gang violence and dying young while he went on to box.

Márquez has said that he was always been a good student and that he likes numbers. He studied and became an accountant, and worked for several government agencies. He gave up on his accounting work and focused entirely on his boxing career.

He started practicing boxing at the age of eight inspired by his father’s training. He stated that he likes to “eat well” and does not follow any kind of diet.

His brother, Rafael Márquez, is a former world champion in the bantamweight and super bantamweight divisions. They both trained under Ignacio Beristáin and assistant Gilbert Márquez.
