Unified world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, has been accused by former unified light-welterweight world champion, Amir Khan, of sleeping with his wife, Faryal Makhdoom.
Khan on Friday on twitter announced he has split with Faryal, his wife of four years, who he has a daughter with.

‘Mans like Joshua can have my left overs!’ the Olympic champion wrote in series of tweets.
However, Faryal, a model, has hit back saying it was Khan that serially cheated on him in the twitter row that followed.
‘Accusing other boxers just because your boxing career is finished. Man up amir.
‘After all these years. I’ve always defending a cheat, always stuck around for him, always had his back. And I’m called a gold digger?’ the 26-year-old wrote.
Laughing off the claims, Joshua posted a video of Shaggy’s hit single, ‘It Wasn’t Me’.
He then followed it with a tweet: ‘Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met! Plus I like my women BBW #ItWasntMe’
