Former world boxing champion Amir Khan has said he was robbed at gunpoint in London on Monday evening. The 35-year-old posted on social media saying he and his wife Faryal were safe after an incident in which he was confronted by two men in Leyton, with his watch being stolen.
Khan tweeted: “Just had my watch taken off me at gun point in East London, Leyton. I crossed the road with Faryal, luckily she was few steps behind me. Two men ran to me, he asked for my watch whist having a gun pointed in my face. The main thing is we’re both safe.”
The thieves stole Khan's Franck Muller Vanguard Chronograph watch - thought to be worth around £72,000 - before making their getaway. Just hours before being relieved of his valuables, Khan was pictured with a fan on central London's Oxford Street wearing his watch which boasts 719 diamonds, reports MyLondon.
