In a move that had many scratching their head today, Amir Khan went on to twitter and called out not only his soon to be Ex-Wife, but also Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua, implicating the two in an affair.
Khan announced that he and wife of four years, Faryal Makhdoom were separating on Friday morning. Soon after that he would attempt to run down not only his wife, but Anthony Joshua…
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 your talking to #disgusted

Anthony Joshua decided to respond… not with a comment, but with a tribute to the 2000 Shaggy hit, It wasn’t me.

He would later wish the couple the best, and claiming that he and Khan had never met.
Khan and Makhdoom, who wed in 2013, have a history of publicly accusing each other of various wrongdoings. Makhdoom went on a long social media rant last December, alleging Khan’s family had bullied her and demanded she wear more conservative clothes.
While Khan supported his wife in the family feud, the couple appeared on British TV in January after a sex tape involving Khan was leaked online and brought more attention to his past cheating scandals. Khan, 30, has been accused of affairs with a handful of models while he and Makdhoom were together.
“At the end of the day I can hold my head high knowing I’ve given this marriage my 100% while amir clearly hasn’t,” Makdhoom wrote in another since-deleted tweet. “Bad company.”
She added: “I think he just needs some attention because boxing hasn’t been going well for him so he’s just been acting up.”
Earlier today, Khan tweeted out an apology to his wife and to Anthony Joshua. This comes with a retweet of Khan’s wife making a statement claiming the alleged texts were fake. Joshua would send an acceptance of the apology soon after.
@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 https://t.co/mYV3mdLtR6
