With seven bedrooms to choose from he was sure to have felt well rested before the big fight, with the master suite alone weighing in at an impressive 1,500 sq ft.

Relaxing in the steam room and salt grotto must have soothed his tired muscles, and we imagine he must have stocked up the home cinema with every one of the Rocky films to get himself psyched up.
The Watford born boxing star began his career in north London. His first amateur boxing debut was in the back room of the Boston Arms in Tufnell Park, and he won the Haringey Box Cup in 2009 and 2010.
So could you live in the house that helped make a champion?
Brace yourself for the punchline: it costs £20,000 a week to rent.
For most people that would be punching above their weight, but if you’ve got your eye on the prize (and deep pockets) then you could be a contender.
Avenue Road is available to rent for £20,000 per week from Knight Frank.
