Amir was in the running for Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity MasterChef last year - but decided to turn them down.

"I have been asked to do Strictly Come Dancing so maybe I would do that," Amir told .

"I have been asked to do Celebrity MasterChef recently, but I couldn’t do the filming this year."

Amir said he would consider signing up for the popular TV shows in the future if the timing was right.

"I’ve done a lot of the top shows like I’m a Celebrity twice and in my opinion it’s the biggest show out there, it is massive.

Despite Amir's willingness to appear on more shows, the star is not desperate for the paycheck.

In December, the pro boxer, who currently lives in Dubai, revealed he's purchased yet another luxury property to add to his portfolio.

Amir, an ex-lightweight and light welterweight boxing champion, shared the news on Instagram as he wrote: "God is great - another property added to my portfolio. Suffer, invest, profit."

He added: "All my investments are cash paid. Never been in debt."

Last year Amir splashed out on cars again, spent more than £130,000 on a new Mercedes G Wagon for his long-suffering wife after being caught out yet again with a sexting scandal.

The couple were reportedly "on the rocks" following a sexting scandal which saw the former boxing champ meet a woman for hotel sex over a period of four months.

He had demanded "no holds barred" sex from the woman last year before the fling escalated.

His wife found out about the betrayal before calling the woman and threatening to out her.
