Punching above his weight: Amir Khan appears to accuse his wife of infidelity…with Anthony Joshua

As part of a bizarre - and very public - spat, the Bolton-born boxer appears to accuse Anthony Joshua of sticking his oar in...

By / Boxing / 7 years ago

Over the past year or so, there have been a fair few airings of dirty laundry in public among some of the world’s top sportsmen.

Samir Nasri’s infamous “DripDoctor” hack of December 2016 was perhaps the high-water mark, but the trend has continued right through 2017 with Mesut Ozil’s “Mandy” moment and, today, Amir Khan’s Twitter breakup storm.

That does indeed seem generous.

But, in parallel with Amir’s ranting, his wife was responding with her own view on the matter.

One can only speculate as to what exactly a “prostitude” is, but it certainly sounds interesting.

Meanwhile, over at Chez Joshua:

Joshua’s response, perhaps, is a little cryptic, seeing as Shaggy’s 2000 hit was in fact about a man who actually was having an affair.

We await with bated breath the next update in this saga.
