Amir Khan pictured in good spirits with Anthony Joshua despite accusing him of sleeping with his wife - and admitting he'd 'lost a good friend'

Daily Mail​7 hours ago

Amir Khan looks to have buried the hatchet with Anthony Joshua despite sensationally accusing the heavyweight of sleeping with his wife.
Joshua last stepped into the ring in his brutal fifth-round KO defeat at the hands of Daniel Dubois and was denied a speedy comeback after undergoing elbow surgery.
Promoter Eddie Hearn expects the former two-time heavyweight champion to return before the end of 2025 before potentially finally taking on Tyson Fury next year.
For now, Joshua has been making the most of his recovery period after jetting off on luxury trips to Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Oman.
He had flown out to Ghana to watch Khan's first-ever show as a promoter and looked to be on good terms with the 38-year-old despite their past spat.
The meeting came almost a decade after Khan took to social media to post several explosive tweets alleging Faryal Makhdoom had cheated on him with Joshua.
Khan had also revealed he and his wife were getting a divorce.
'So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I'm currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best,' Khan wrote in 2017. 'Faryal moved on quick.
'Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer @AnthonyFJoshua.
'Lol moved up in the weight classes lol. Trust me I ain't the jealous type. No need to send me pictures of the men you're talking to #Disgusted.
'Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I'm not hurt but another fighter. I'm making it public. You getting the divorce #Golddigger.
'Mans like Joshua can have my leftovers!'
In response, Joshua rubbished the allegations by sharing a video of Shaggy's hit 'It Wasn't Me' and adding: 'Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met!'
A few months later, Khan appeared to have patched up his feud with Joshua.
Joshua denied having ever met Faryal and said: 'I hope you guys can resolve your situation'
Just over a week later, Khan issued an apology to the heavyweight, who accepted
Khan and Makhdoom have three children together and have been married since 2013
He wrote on X: '@anthonyfjoshua 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'.
Joshua then replied: 'Apology accepted.'
Khan admitted he had 'lost a good friend' after firing the accusations at Joshua and regrets the way he publicly called out the heavyweight.
He also later reconciled with his wife, with whom he tied the knot in 2013. The couple have three children together, and also starred in their own BBC TV series in 2021.

Liverpool airport's brutal five-word dig at Trent Alexander-Arnold as former Anfield idol prepares to make his debut in Club World Cup for Real Madrid

The fallout of Trent Alexander-Arnold 's depature from Liverpool rumbles on even as the England star prepares to make his debut for Real Madrid on Wednesday against Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal in Miami. Alexander-Arnold opted to run down his contract at his boyhood club before joining Real this summer, with the Reds eventually receiving a £10million fee to enable the right back to play in the Club World Cup. He received a mixed reception in his final weeks on Merseyside after confirming his departure, with his own fans booing him when he came on as a substitute against Arsenal last month. The 26-year-old has made an effort to endear himself to his new club and their suppoters by giving a speech in fluent Spanish and sharing his early experiences as a Real Madrid player on social media. That, however, has not left him immune to continued criticism from home. One post in particular drew the attention of Liverpool John Lennon Airport who reacted by making a snide dig at Alexander-Arnold on their official X account. 🏠 🤍 — Trent Alexander-Arnold (@TrentAA) June 13, 2025 Trent Alexander-Arnold has come under fire as he prepares to make his debut for Real Madrid Alexander-Arnold posted a montage of his flight to Madrid and his presentation as a Real player to the backdrop of Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny's Monaco. Liverpool John Lennon Airport quoted the post on their own X account and wrote 'He even flew from Manchester', getting their point across with a snake emoji. The tweet was later replaced, with the snake swapped for an eyeroll emoji but not before it was seen by hundreds of people. Alexander-Arnold, who signed a six-year-old deal at Madrid, has taken the squad number 12 and will be known simply as 'Trent'. After Real's opener against Al-Hilal, the Spanish giants will face Pachuca and RB Salzburg before, potentially, progressing to the knockout rounds.
