Amir Khan to move out of home town Bolton in bid to save marriage with Faryal Makhdoom
AMIR Khan is set to move out of his beloved home town of Bolton in a bid to save his marriage.
The boxer, 32, and model Faryal Makhdoom, 27, wed six years ago and survived a string of affairs by love rat Amir.
They split two years ago amid a bitter and public spat with Amir's family who accused her of being a bad mother and untrue claims she cheated with Anthony Joshua.
The Olympic silver medallist put his £1.2million mansion in Bolton, Lancs., up for sale year and moved into renovated bungalow to patch up his marriage.
I'm a Celebrity Star Amir is now house-hunting in Ascot, Berkshire, and told pals he needs to move away from his family who live nearby in Bolton.
Pals say the realisation came after mum-of-two Faryal joined him in New York for his world title defeat to Terence Crawford at Madison Square Garden, last month.
The friend said: "Amir knows he has to grow up and the quality time he spent in New York for the Crawford fight with Faryal, without his family who have been with him on every step of his boxing career.
"He wants to make his marriage work and knows in order to do that he needs to get out of Bolton where his family are so close.
"His family have been there for his whole career but he's 32-years-old now and thinks its time to leave the nest." Last year Khan left his £1.2million mansion - which is next door to his parents home.
Faryal and the boxer moved into a four-bed bungalow and spent £250,000 on revamping.
They transformed the house with a man cave, indoor swimming pool and nursery for their daughters Lamaisah, five, and one-year-old Alayna.
The reunion came after a bitter a public bust-up in which she was called a "gold digger" and wrongly accused of sleeping with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
In 2016 Khan's dad Sajjad accused his daughter-in-law of being a "bad mother" for leaving her young daughter in New York while going to Khan for a training camp.
His family also blasted his wife's looks calling her 'Michael Jackson'.
Amir caused a storm after accusing his wife of cheating on him with Anthony Joshua - which both denied.
Faryal fired back accusing her husband of being a 'bad role model' and 'bad around women'.
Their six-year marriage has been tested by Amir's cheating and womanising.
The Sun revealed he cheated with a beautician just 17 days after the birth of his second daughter in April 2018.
He has also been accused of sending sleazy messages to women online.
Khan later admitted had "made mistakes" and promised to patch up his marriage.
He is a proud Lancastrian and invested £5million in a wedding venue in his home town, set up a boxing academy and his autobiography called A Boy From Bolton.
