Khan wrote on Instagram: “Tough day for the family.
“My nephew, son of my brother Haroon Khan passed away yesterday.
“The newborn didn’t make it.
“May Allah make it easy for the family, especially the mother and father, please keep us in your prayers.”
The newborn, Abdul Khan, died on Wednesday shortly after his birth.
Haroon, also a professional boxer who won bronze in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, is Khan’s only brother, and they share two sisters.
Please keep us in your prayers.”
