AMIR KHAN’S wife Faryal Makhdoom has slammed ‘rude and annoying’ Carl Froch for his comments after her husband was beaten by Kell Brook.
The Bolton boxer was stopped on his feet in the sixth round in the big grudge match, with retirement now looking a formality.
Speaking after the fight, Froch, commentating for Sky Sports, described how Khan’s ‘legs turned to Bambi’ and that he was ‘badly hurt’.
The former super-middleweight champion then urged Khan to retire, saying that he has ‘got to think of the future’ and that ‘it’s not healthy getting punched in the head’.
It appears these comments have not gone down well with Khan’s wife who tweeted out a damning response.
Faryal wrote: “I rarely ever say bad about anyone but I actually can’t stand Carl Froch. Simply rude and annoying.
“Wonder if it upsets him that Khan made more money than him.”
Khan has an estimated net worth of £30million and is believed to have pocketed the bigger percentage of the £5m fight purse against Brook.

Froch is believed to be worth around £15m after his own stellar boxing career that saw him unify the super-middleweight division.
Khan himself hinted at retiring right after the fight, and Faryal also suggested this would happen.
She wrote on Twitter: “Thank you King Khan for all the excitement you brought to the sport of boxing.
“Without you British boxing wouldn’t be the same. You inspire us all.”
Khan, who has been married to Faryal since 2013, is a former unified world champion.
He also made a name for himself Stateside with several marquee wins across the pond.
But in possibly the most important one of his career, he conceded bragging rights for life to arch rival Brook.
