Former light-welterweight world champion Amir Khan has announced that he has split up from his wife Faryal Makhdoom, seemingly accusing of her of having an affair with heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua.
In a series of messages posted to Twitter this afternoon, the 30-year-old wished his wife "all the best" before alleging that she had "moved on quick" to "another boxer".
"So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I'm currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best," he wrote.
"Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer.
"Lol moved up in the weight classes lol. Trust me I ain't the jealous type. No need to send me pictures of the men your talking to. #disgusted
"Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I'm not hurt but another fighter. I'm making it public. You getting the divorce #Golddigger
"Mans like Joshua can have my left overs!"
Makhdoom was quick to respond to the messages, branding Khan a "30-year-old baby" and accusing him of being with a prostitute in Dubai.
She added: "I think he just needs some attention because boxing hasn't been going well for him so he's just been acting up"
Joshua has yet to respond to the tweets.
