Police issue photo of £70,000 watch stolen at gunpoint from former world boxing champion Amir Khan

This is the custom-made, gem-encrusted £70,000 watch stolen at gunpoint from the wrist of former world boxing champion Amir Khan in front of his wife in London. Police in the capital released the image as they issued an appeal for witnesses to the robbery to come forward.

Officers also want to hear from anyone offered the 'easily recognisable' timepiece for sale. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the 'high-value' Franck Muller watch was valued at around £70,000 and said they fear it could be offered for sale on the black market at a discounted price.

Bolton-born Khan, 35, said he and his wife, Faryal, were robbed at gunpoint by two men in Leyton, east London, earlier this week after a dinner at a restaurant. Officers were called at just after 9pm on Monday to High Road. They said no shots were fired and nobody was injured in the attack.
