Half-breeds are challenging to showcase in game because it is very much a "Tell, don't show" circumstance. The character creator doesn't let you meld features or racial traits, so it might be difficult to get traction with that. It doesn't mean not to do it, but it's only fair to warn you of the challenges in store with that route.
Treated-but-not-cured disease is pretty feasible; There's guild presence by the Alchemists but medicine is expensive! If your character is working at the street level, he might not be able to pay for a longterm solution and so gets by with various other concoctions to keep himself alive.
Playing a wanted criminal is certainly in line with Ul'dah's atmosphere, but it might catch you the wrong kind of attention from various do-gooder roleplayers. You could put a little bit of a twist on it and still have the same turnaround, though: Maybe your criminal history got taken off of the books for helping a few less-than-legitimate Brass Blades with some criminal operation. Your character wants out of the Life so to speak but he's got to be careful about turning away from the corrupt lawmen who could just as easily trump charges against him, leading him to work to do good but also afraid of being blackmailed.
Just riffing on the idea, you know?
If you wanted to look into Pugilism-as-an-actual-class, you could definitely be trained under the guild ICly. If you wanted to harken back a bit more to allude to your shady background, you could also have been a part of the pugilist's guild dating to before the Calamity; The Silver Mirage kept and trained a staff of fingerbreakers to make sure people paid their debts and didn't skip out of town before paying what they owed. Things have changed in the intervening years, but it could work to help "establish" your character and their connections.
OF COURSE, IF YOU JUST WANTED TO THROW HANDS WITH PEOPLE, YOU COULD ALWAYS COME BY THE GRINDSTONE ON SATURDAY NIGHTS. I'VE HEARD PEOPLE FIGHT THERE SOMETIMES.
