It follows a Twitter spat this afternoon in which Khan, 30, appeared to accuse his wife of running off with Joshua – before she fired back calling him a “cheater."

Amir made the claims as the announcement of his split from wife Faryal Makhdoom descended into a bitter public feud.

After wishing his wife all the best he made sensational claims she had moved on with fellow boxer Anthony Joshua.

The world heavyweight champion didn't appear to take the accusations too seriously however, as he took the opportunity to make a joke to his 1.29million Twitter followers.

Model Faryal, 26, also blasted her husband's claims, saying: “Accusing other boxers just because your boxing career is finished. Man up amir.”

She added: "After all these years. I've always defending a cheat, always stuck around for him, always had his back. And I'm called a gold digger?

"LOL! He's given me jack s*** -- I pay house bills and bills for my daughter myself! It's like I'm a single mother while he's out messing around.

"And he has the nerve to blast me like that? The amount of evidence I have on you. It can destroy you. But since I loved you at one point in my life. I'll just let it go.

"I'm not the one who's been in the papers every month with my pants down Cheater!"

Faryal married her sporting superstar husband after being introduced to Amir by a mutual friend.

The couple, who married in glamorous 1000-guest ceremony at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel, have a two-year old together called Lamisah, born in 2014.

But the marriage has been rocked by several claims of Amir cheating on his wife.

In 2015, reality show star Lateysha Grace claimed she was offered £2,000 by Amir for a foursome in Miami.

The Sun also revealed how he spent the night with former escort Christie Lee Hoyle while his wife was pregnant in 2013.

Around the same time he allegedly bombarded Clair Nuttall with lewd texts urging her to perform sex acts on him and begging for a threesome.

Faryal confronted Clair and French lingerie model Eglantine-Flore Aguilar over their alleged trysts.

Khan has been linked with a string of other women, including model Natalie Fox and Playboy star Carla Howe.
