    Wills had property. So did Conn, though he had the title.

    What other fighters had a property portfolio?

    McGrain, Harry Wills it is...After retirement Harry Wills owned a lot of real estate in Harlem..He was very comfortable after he stopped fighting,
    unlike his great rival Sam Langford...
    I once saw a tall gray haired Harry Wills as a spectator at stillman's gym
    in the late 1940s...Tall ,slim and distinguished looking...
