One of 10 children, Ghosn was born to Lebanese parents in the Sydney suburb of Newtown. He is the brother of Western Suburbs player George Ghosn and has another brother Tony who competed for the club in the lower grades. At the age of 16, Ghosn became a professional boxer and was trained by Johnny Lewis, best known as the trainer of Jeff Fenech. He played rugby league locally in Sydney's western suburbs as a five-eighth and halfback.{{cite news |last1=Dasey |first1=Jason |title=The real-life Rocky gets no kick out of video games |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/123992671 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=25 February 1986}}
