'I was really scared': Amir Khan tells court of terrifying moment robbers stole his watch

Former world boxing champion Amir Khan said staring down the barrel of a gun as he was robbed of his £70,000 watch was scarier than any of his fights, a court heard.

The 36-year-old told jurors he feared the gunman would pull the trigger as the weapon was held “a foot from his face”.

The father-of-three said he handed over his bespoke diamond encrusted Franck Muller Vanguard Chronograph “straight away” during the armed robbery as he left a restaurant in Leyton, east London, with his wife Faryal Makhdoom, 31, and friend Omar Khalid on April 18 last year.
