World heavyweight champion ,Anthony Joshua has moved back into his mother’s two-bed ex- council flat despite earning an estimated £15million from defeating Wladimir Klitschko.
The 27-year-old boxer was living in a grand palladian villa in affluent St John’s Wood, rented
as a haven so he could focus on the biggest fight of his life. After defeating Ukrainian
Klitschko on an extraordinary night at Wembley
last month experts said that Mr Joshua could soon be the world’s first billionaire boxer. .
But despite the riches on offer the star is back
living with his mother Yeta Odusanya, 51, and
his baby son after several gruelling months away from home. The father-of-one bought her the a former council flat in North London for
£174,000 after turning professional in 2013, and
was pictured moving back in yesterday.
He is refusing to get carried away with his wealth and loves nothing more than spending
time with his mum. Joshua is determined to
settle back into normal life and is keen to get
away from the spotlight despite the cameras following his every move. .
The heavyweight champ has always made clear
the importance of his family and banned his
mum from attending the recent heavyweight
showdown at Wembley. Yeta has not been to
see her son in action since the London 2012 Olympics as Joshua says she would put him off as they are so close.
