Amir Khan hasn’t fought since his sixth round knockout loss
to Canelo Alvarez last May. But it appears that the former junior
welterweight champion has another fight on his hands outside of the
boxing ring. The 30-year-old took to Twitter to announce that he will be
splitting from his wife of four years, Faryal.
So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best.— Amir Khan (@amirkingkhan) August 4, 2017
that Khan’s marriage fell apart, the next tweet turned his situation
into a full blown soap opera that may be better suited for reality
television when he accused his soon-to-be ex of cheating with
heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer @anthonyfjoshua pic.twitter.com/1GBAQnvzMC— Amir Khan (@amirkingkhan) August 4, 2017

Mans like Joshua can have my left overs!— Amir Khan (@amirkingkhan) August 4, 2017
Anthony Joshua responded to Khan’s accusations by first posting a clip of Shaggy’s video “It Wasn’t Me” and following it with a tweet that suggests he isn’t at fault for Khan’s marital issues.
Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met! Plus I like my women BBW #ItWasntMe— Anthony Joshua (@anthonyfjoshua) August 4, 2017
There was speculation that Khan’s Twitter account was
hacked, but the boxer released a video stating that everything was real
and he will be leaving his wife.
“It is real,” Khan said. “Obviously, me and Faryal
have both decided to move on — well, I’ve decided to walk away. Nothing
has been hacked.”
Faryal posted a series of replies, but has since
deleted those tweets. She accused Khan of being a cheater and suggested
that the boxer is seeking attention because his boxing career hasn’t
gone well the past year.
“I’m not the one who’s been in the papers every month
with my pants down cheater!” she posted while also suggesting that Khan
is at fault for their marriage falling apart.
