According to wikipedia, at least, that's a different Pythagoras of Samos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras_(boxer)

The reference I gave gives a good reason why it isn’t a different Pythagoras… but, always hard to know for sure…

But I tend to think that Pythagoras had an even more incredible life than the legends.
