George Groves - started in kickboxing because he was too young for boxing.

David Haye - father was a karate instructor.

Scott Quigg - started out in muay thai.

Carl Thompson - started out in muay thai.

Dana rosenblat transitioned from kickboxing to boxing with success

Depends what you consider success. His most notable wins were against completely washed up (brain damaged, in the case of Terry Norris) guys & he even got knocked out by one of them in Pazienza.
