Tony Danza is a former boxer.

George Foreman named all of his sons George. His son on the sitcom was unsurprisingly named George "Bubba" Foster, Jr.

Foreman has twelve children: five sons and seven daughters. His five sons are George Jr., George III ("Monk"), George IV ("Big Wheel"), George V ("Red"), and George VI ("Little Joey"). On his website, Foreman explains, "I named all my sons George Edward Foreman so they would always have something in common. I say to them, 'If one of us goes up, then we all go up together, and if one goes down, we all go down together!'"
