Amir Khan addresses Anthony Joshua row as he opens up about mental health struggles

Amir Khan admits that he feels 'really bad' about a public spat in which he accused fellow boxer Anthony Joshua of sleeping with his wife.

Khan, who retired from boxing earlier this year, went on a bizarre social media outburst in 2017 and labelled his wife Faryal Makhdoom as a 'golddigger'. Tweeting at Joshua, he wrote: "Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer."

He later tweeted: "Mans like Joshua can have my leftovers". Joshua has always denied the claims and five years on, Khan spoke out about the row on Gary Neville's YouTube channel The Overlap.
