Escobar was born in La Boca in Barrio Palmas Altas, a sector of Barceloneta, Puerto Rico, to Jacinto Escobar and Adela Vargas.
In April 1941, he was drafted to the United States Army and participated in World War II.
Escobar was inducted into the Madison Square Garden's Boxing Hall of Fame in 1950.
After his death, the town of Barceloneta honored his memory by a statue. His remains are interred at Cementerio Municipal Viejo in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico. In March 2005, a second statue of Estobar was unveiled at the Estadio Sixto Escobar in San Juan.
Several buildings and streets were named after Escobar posthumously, including the Auditorio Sixto Escobar. The house where he lived was later turned into a library and museum bearing his name.
