Joshua quits mum’s flat for £27m mansion

World boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, is finally preparing to move out of his mum’s flat after getting a taste of the high life in this £27 million mansion.

The 6ft 6in heavyweight is searching for his own knockout home and aims to invest part of his £15 million purse for beating Wladimir Klitschko, 41.

He wants to stay in London and has already tested the water by renting the incredible seven-bedroom mansion.
“He’s determined to weigh up all his options rather than make any rash decisions, but the search is on.

“He knows it’s a big decision and he wants to make sure he buys the right place.”
Joshua, 26 is being tipped to earn £1 billion over his career and still regards mum Yeta’s former council flat in north-west London, as home.

However, he did rent the £80,000-a-month mansion in posh St John’s Wood for a spell.
The home – decorated with chandeliers and paintings by French artist Viviane Cisinski – was bought for £27 million by South African diamond trader Walter Hennig, 44, in 2012.
He is the son of controversial businessman, Oloff Hennig, who is best known for his friendship with Ronnie Biggs, the Great Train Robber.

The luxury home includes a salt grotto as part of a state-of-the-art spa, gym and indoor pool complex, plus a wine cellar, cinema and two staff bedrooms.
The master suite, with his and hers dressing areas, occupies the first floor.
Dad-of-one Joshua bought his mum’s flat for £174,000 after turning pro in 2013.
It is understood he also paid for a £500,000 flat in nearby Finchley for his ex, Nicole Osbourne, 27, and son Joseph, 18 months.

The source added: “AJ is a down-to-earth guy and isn’t getting carried away. But beating Klitschko catapulted him into a different league and he’s decided it’s time to branch out into a place of his own.
“He has a large budget and wants to buy somewhere he can call home for years to come. He won’t be rushed and is determined to make the right choice.”
