Two-time world boxing heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is considering investing in Sky Bet Championship club Watford.
Joshua was born in Watford and has plenty of admirers in the City.
Prompt News reports that the Briton has already invested in property in the area.
He is reported to have a net worth of around $83 million.
He told Seconds Out: “We wanted to move into private equity, venture capital funds.
“As you earn, naturally you want to save, so rather than me spending recklessly I’m trying to invest money into certain asset classes and that was an opportunity that presented itself.
“Nothing’s come of it yet. It’s a serious investment. If it comes off it’s one that should do well.
“If they went back to the Premier League then I’d need to get a shop on Market Street because the traffic that would be coming through Watford would be phenomena.
“I remember being on Market Street and watching the football fans.
“I’m not a massive football fan myself but watching the fans steamroll Market Street and steamroll Vicarage Road were real good scenes.
“If we don’t do it then good luck to them anyway because they’re a great team.
