Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom breaks silence to reveal Anthony Joshua affair claims were ‘fake’ – but they are still splitting up
FARYAL Makhdoom has hit back at claims she’s been chatting to Anthony Joshua while her marriage falls apart, claiming that screenshots of the pair’s conversations were fake.
The rumours sparked a social media storm between Amir Khan and his wife on social media over their impending divorce, with the Bolton boxer accusing her of seeing Joshua.
However she’s now cleared things up on Twitter.
She wrote: “I’ve been quiet for some time… because I myself didn’t know what’s going on.
“Everything that’s going on is just not right and a complete misunderstanding.
“The screenshots sent to Amir were ‘fake’ and Amir thought Joshua and I were speaking… when we have never even met.
“Anger took the better of him and he tweeted away without thinking there was absolutely NO truth to it.
“It’s all cleared up with both teams now and again, there was NOTHING like that going on.
“Apologies for all this nonsense. Let’s get on with life now…”
Khan then responded, writing: “Glad all is cleared up and all lies. I got angry like any man would. No truth to it.
“Good to know. All the best.”
He later added: “I partied in Dubai with friends to get my wife angry,” he shared on Twitter. “Shouldn’t have.
“That’s not like me and I’ll prove that.
“I still have made my decision to leave Faryal. It happens in life. The relationship was getting unhealthy. I wish her nothing but the best.”
The couple have time and time again been thrown into the spotlight following a series of alleged affairs involving Khan.
Most recently in January a sex tape of the boxer leaked online.
The x-rated clip shows him in just a T-shirt and boxer shorts performing a sex act on himself while in conversation with a female model on the video call service Skype.
It is believed to have been made just weeks after the former world champ’s wedding to Faryal.
Faryal was said to be “absolutely disgusted” by the video — which has been published on a major US porn website.
But they put on a united front during an appearance on ITV’s This Morning.
Amir said on the show: “I love my wife, and I love my family. The marriage is brilliant, it’s going really well.
“Everything is fine between us.”
While Faryal added: “It’s just the past that’s coming back to try and bring us down.
“But our focus is now the next fight.”
