Amir Khan sparks fury on Instagram as he poses with sub-machine gun saying ‘Get ready for the new Terminator’
Ex-boxing champ slammed for glamourising guns — again
BOXER Amir Khan has been blasted for glamourising guns during a Pakistan trip.
The fighter and role model posted photos and videos of himself with an MP5 sub-machine gun and shooting a pistol during target practice with local cops.
He posted a gun-toting picture saying: “Get ready for the new Terminator.
“Me carrying the MP5.”
Then a video with the caption: “Pakistan Police special unit teaching me how to pull the trigger.”
The video was viewed thousands of times and scores of the fighter’s Instagram followers were not impressed.
Mujooo wrote: “There is enough war in the world, stop posting such pics.”
Mij_Sheehan said: “Yeah guns are real cool.
“Nice one Amir.”
And jonboyrussell added: “Not a good role model for kids who follow you.”
In the video Khan, wearing ear protectors and glasses, is seen holding a handgun with his back to a target.
He then spins around and fires off five shots.
Smiling Amir then gets a round of applause and a few more pointers from his instructor.
It is not the first time the boxer has caused gun controversy.
In 2014 The Sun revealed how he had caused outrage by posting a photo of himself online posing with a shisha pipe shaped like an AK47 assault rifle.
Ex-world champion Khan, 29, added with the snap: “AK with an AK Shisha.
“I don’t smoke it.
“But I saw it and decided to take u all a pic.”
Khan, of Bolton, also faced a barrage of criticism when he tweeted a picture of himself with a knife.
Earlier this week he was slammed by Frank Warren after he said he wanted to fight for Pakistan at the Rio Olympics and was labelled a “traitor” on social media.
