Ex-NFL Receiver Set To Make Boxing Debut Makes Headlines After Leaving Big Tip

Chad Johnson had his share of great moments in the NFL and is set to try his luck in boxing on June 6.

He will face Brian Maxwell in one of the supporting bouts of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul exhibition contest at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

However, it is the tip generosity drive that the 43-year-old ex-NFL player that is well-documented.

Just recently, Johnson had a meal worth $4.28 at Houston’s Turkey Leg Hut. Known for leaving big tips, he left a huge $1,000 tip and shared it via his official Twitter account.

The caption read: “Proverbs 11:25 (Turkey Leg Hut edition).”

It is the latest move from the man who is also known as Chad Ochocinco who just last week left a similar $1,000 tip when he visited Havana’s Cuban Cuisine in Cooper City, Florida.

The big tip was left after he enjoyed a meal worth $37. If one digs deep into his history, these acts of generosity are nothing new and such earned him quite a reputation, Complex reported.

Looking ahead, all eyes will be on Johnson when he takes his acts to the ring on June 6.

Admittedly a fan of the sport, the former NFL wide receiver did not pass up the chance when he was given the chance to be part of the event.

“I never thought there would be an opportunity to do so. But I love boxing. I’m friends with every boxer out there because I love and study all of it. I didn’t expect anything like this to happen. When Floyd called, the first thing I wanted to know, was how much time I had to prepare. Once I knew that I had enough time that I could look like myself in there, I knew I could pull it off,” Johnson stated via NY Fights.

Johnson explained that the fight against Maxwell is a one-time thing and that he will be there to have fun.

“I’ve done some crazy things in life, and this is one to add and scratch off the bucket list,” the six-time Pro Bowler stated.
