    Beibut Shumenov.

    Dude's a lawyer and millionaire businessman independently of his boxing career. Parents started out working / middle class but his father used political connections to make a shedload of money after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

        MAB's father is a doctor if I'm not mistaken. And he's a college graduate who studied law. I'm not sure if he got his degree or not

                Pretty sure he's just from a working class family in Bolton.

                  I've always wondered about George Groves. He's from Hammersmith which is a pretty decent part of London, but it does have a few rough estates here and there. But he's pretty well spoken and doesn't strike me as a guy that grew up rough. So i often wondered if he was from the nicer parts of Hammersmith.

                    Maybe I misunderstood the question. Rich/Good, I interpreted as either or, or both. Not rich but at least middle class. Seems like most fighters are literally fighting their way out of poverty.
