Amir Khan had 'gun pointed in his face' as thieves demanded £72,000 watch

Amir Khan says he had a gun 'pointed in his face' after two men stopped him and took his watch.

The former boxing champion told his followers on twitter that he was confronted by two men while walking in East London with his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, on Monday night (April 19). Making his way through the Leyton area, the men stopped, one of them armed and demanding his watch which cost £72,000.

Kahn, 35, noted his wife was several steps behind him at the time of the incident and they were both safe. Tweeting about the incident to his 2.1 million followers, he reassured fans there was nothing to worry about.
