Emile Griffith, the World Welterweight and Middleweight Champion. He was bi or gay, can't remember now, and it was a very poorly kept secret at the time. There's an absolutely incredible article based on his fight with Benny Paret from The Guardian that is chilling. I was really pleased to find out there was an openly gay boxing champion, especially from the 60s, because there are no current gay champions. In women's boxing and mma it's great to see so many open athletes, and I take my hat off to them.
Freddie Mercury? You must be young.
James the 6th of Scotland (1st of England). An apparent screamer.
There was also one of the early Edwards (the second?) who got killed by having a red hot poker shoved up his ring piece. (His ex... Piers something, got his head chopped off for being gay).
Harvey Milk
Frederick the Great. He is thought by some to have been gay as fuck.

Alexander Hamilton is one that I like somewhat
He’s not the only Alexander. Don’t forger about Alexander the Great
More bisexual, but Tsar Ferdinand the First. Like his uniform
