Breaking news: Amir Khan “accused Anthony Joshua of sleeping with his wife.

 

 

In a bizarre Twitter outburst back in 2017, the boxing icon publicly labeled his wife as a “golddigger” and accused Joshua of having a relationship with her. Khan even went as far as announcing his intention to divorce Makhdoom, expressing his emotions on social media with statements like, “Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I’m not hurt, but another fighter. I’m making it public. You are going to get divorced. Joshua was not exempt from Khan’s Twitter tirade either, as he invited him to interact with his “leftovers” before taking down the posts.

Five years later, Khan—who had given up boxing after losing to Kell Brook in February—reflected on the incident and said he had not spoken to Joshua since. He disclosed, “I was going through a bit of a mad time myself,” in an interview with The Overlap. Khan went on, “I wanted to get away from my wife. I had an issue with Anthony Joshua, and I felt terrible about it because, in the end, I had put him in danger without any justification. I lost a close friend because of that; we have not spoken since. He was a friend of mine. Although the guy did nothing wrong, I still kind of got even with him.”
