Match the hint (boxer’s first name and/or moniker) to their surname using the Additional Hint. The Additional Hint contains the boxer’s birth and (if appropriate) death years; the weight class(es) the boxer competed in; and their professional boxing record. The boxing record is shown in this format: T-W-K-L[-dD][-nNC], where

T = total number of bouts (see caveat below)
W = total number of wins
K = number of wins by KO
L = total number of losses
d = number of draws
n = number of no contest decisions
