Is it possible to be a pro boxer and university student at the same time? Any world champions who attended university and became world champions?

I watched a video of Bonecrusher smith fighting and I swear they said he was a collage graduate.I also read a story about some guy who was a welterweight and fought while he was in collage.The article said he fought a few times in the 80s on ESPN.He has now gone onto a successful business career.

No. As soon as you start pro-boxing while having a student ID card....the earth will start spinning in the other direction, aliens will land, and we'll be swallowed by a black hole.

Never try doing that. NEVER.

Nate Cleverly reckons it's doable. He was studying for a maths degree I believe, earned it after he'd already become European champion.
