Amir Khan, the Pakistani origin British former light-welterweight world champion, has reportedly found himself embroiled in controversy after allegedly engaging in explicit conversations with a bridal model.
According to British media reports, the 36-year-old reached out to the model online and complimented her tattoos, leading to a heated conversation. Khan allegedly made comments about her appearance and suggested she had undergone cosmetic procedures.
The boxer, who has been married to YouTuber Faryal Makhdoom since 2013, appeared cautious about the situation, assuring the influencer that he would delete any pictures she sent him. In a conversation with the social media influencer Sumaira in May, Khan seemingly implied that he didn’t want to be caught doing anything inappropriate.
This incident comes amidst previous allegations of infidelity in Khan’s marriage. The alleged interaction with Sumaira took place on May 6, just days after his eviction from the pre-recorded show I’m A Celebrity… South Africa was aired.
The conversation allegedly began when Khan commented on Sumaira’s tattoos on Instagram. When she expressed uncertainty about his intentions, he insisted he was serious and complimented her appearance. Sumaira sent him a fully clothed picture displaying roses on her midriff, which apparently caught his attention. Khan allegedly encouraged her to send more pictures, claiming it was just a discussion about tattoos and that he had seen similar images before.
