        I believe his parents were pretty poor and he started boxing professionally because they became ill and he had to pay medical bills. After winning the olympics, he actually said he wasn't going to become a pro, but obviously there was a change of plans.

              I don't recall but I'm certain he was from a poor background.

                Hatton middle class, lol.
                I'd say that most boxers from the UK aren't middle class.

                      Most boxers in general aren't middle-class.
