On Friday, August 4, 2017, Amir Khan took to Twitter to announce that he and his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, had mutually agreed to split up.
So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best.

What started out as an announcement with not much details, quickly turned into an assault on his wife.
Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer 🙄 @anthonyfjoshua pic.twitter.com/1GBAQnvzMC

While many initially questioned the validity of the tweets, Khan’s wife did not stay quiet on Twitter and seems to have validated their authenticity.
He’s in Dubai rightnow with a prostitude. While I’m getting accused of cheating? Treating the mother of his child like this , is sickening.

Faryal, a model and the mother of Khan’s child, also mentioned the fact that Khan did not need to release tweets when his past isn’t squeaky clean.
“I’m sorry to all the fans & family hurt by this. But Amir did not need to do stupid tweets accusing others when he’s in the wrong.”
As far as Anthony Joshua–he dropped the most savage tweet of all.
