Anthony Joshua reportedly pocketed £15m after he knock out Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday at Wembley.
The 27-year-old has a £120 bill to pay off, according to The Mirror.
“First off, I’ve got to pay my bill," Joshua joked. “It’s very big.”
As reported by www.mirror.co.uk:
Muqeem Bakhtari, known locally as Max, said "joker" Joshua was a still regular at his Clock Tower Laundry Service launderette.
Bakhtari said Joshua had been a coming to his business since before winning his Olympic gold medal at London 2012 and his family often stopped by to pick up his laundry.
He said: "He is a joker - no his bill is nothing. He always jokes about it.
"It sometimes ranges from a fiver to a £100. He has no time so he sends in his family members. It's minimal.
"The tab is always open to him and his family members - they are lovely people."
Asked if the bill was a reported £120, he said: "Possibly, yes."
Mr Bakhtari added fame and fortune had not appeared to have changed the gentle 6ft 6ins giant.
"We have known him since before he was Olympic champion, about seven or eight years, and he is the nicest guy around town. Nothing has changed."
The two fighters were already guaranteed at least £10m from the 50/50 purse split and that figure could push towards £15m on the back of record pay-per-view sales.
