      And partner Wanliss is also her coach when he is not training himself and opened up on how the two first got together.
      He told SunSport: “We met on Instagram, I think I slid into the DMs, we argue about this all the time. 
      “We were planning on going on holiday without even meeting each other, it was crazy.
      “We ended up meeting and going to a lovely little bar and restaurant and had a great time, really hit it off and found out we had so much in common.”

      Wanliss was a male stripper for ten years before giving up to focus on his MMA career.
      But he still finds time to juggle boyfriend and coaching duties.
      He said: “The type of person I am, I feel like that kind of dynamic works. 
      “I can switch my mind of and be very militant and be like, ‘You’re not my girlfriend right now, I’m the coach and you’ll listen to me.’

      “It’s hard, don’t get me wrong because it’s tough seeing your missus going through the fighters’ life, it’s not easy. 
      “Sometimes you don’t have a good sparring day, then she’s crying and you have to choose whether to be by her side and be the boyfriend or be the coach and lift her up. 
      “These things do happen but quite naturally without bigging myself up too much I do feel like a good coach and being able to get the athlete to a certain place mentally or physically.” 
      Wanliss, 30, defended Hemsley, 22, after Eddie Hearn slammed the influencer for her post-fight celebration prank.
      He said: “I don’t know if Eddie was trying to be politically correct or wherever he was trying to come from. 
      “But you take one look at him and you can find loads of OnlyFans girls around Matchroom and it’s like, some on, mate you can’t say, ‘Let’s get this away from boxing.’ 
      “He’s the one promoting it too, maybe he’s a bit jealous of KingPyn or the eyes that were on them but it’s definitely contradictory. 
      “Obviously, I’m going to back my missus and it’s just t****s, man. No one got harmed.”

      Wanliss – who like Hemsley runs an OnlyFans account – also models but insists nothing comes close to fighting.
      He said: “I could have £1million in my back pocket right now – and eventually I will do – and I’d still fight. 
      “I’d still turn up to the gym and train and that would lead to me still wanting to compete because I’m a very competitive person. 
      “It’s the competitive drive and I love the process of preparing for a fight, taking a puzzle which is in the shape of another person and trying to defeat that. 
      “There’s no money in the world that can buy that. Yeah, OnlyFans is great and it makes money, stripping is great and it makes money but my passion is as a martial artist.” 
      Hemsley has travelled to Prague to watch her man in action, with Wanliss fighting at Oktagon 45 against Georgia’s Giorgi Gogotchuri.
      The British prospect wants to go down as a legend in the sport having made a name for himself outside of it.
      He said: “My biggest goal is to be pound-for-pound No1 in MMA.

      “I want to leave my career the best that I can be and I don’t see anything less than No1. 
      “Whatever I’ve got to do. Right now my main focus is the Oktagon title and each fight I’ll be climbing and climbing.”

      Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom breaks her silence with cryptic Instagram post as pair ‘separate’ amid sexting scandal

      by

      AMIR Khan’s wife has broken her silence with a cryptic Instagram post after the couple reportedly separated amid a sexting scandal. The boxing champ and Faryal Makhdoom are understood to be currently splitting their time between Dubai and Britain while she decides what to do next.

      The move is the latest scandal to rock the couple’s ten-year marriage.
      A source close to the Khan family told MailOnline: “Faryal is taking time to think about whether or not to walk away.
      “She’s going through a very difficult time and choosing to focus on her children while she and Amir continue to co-parent.”
      In an Instagram post on Friday night, Faryal said: “Fall in love with someone who doesn’t make you think love is hard.”
      Read more on Amir Khan
      She then re-posted a poem called July by Heba Nasar to her story.
      It reads: “Just like a book, I hope the second half writes a perfect tale where all loose ends find their place.”
      It comes after The Sun revealed how Amir had begged bridal model Sumaira to send him revealing pictures.
      The boxer also tried to meet up with the 25-year-old after first contacting her in May to compliment her tattoos.
      Most read in Boxing
      He told her in one message: “look good on g string” and suggested she had a boob job.
      Weeks later Khan — who married Faryal in 2013 — posted a snap online of himself with his US model wife and daughters, saying: “10 years later.”
      He later revealed he was willing to have therapy to stop him sexting other women.
      Khan also issued his wife an apology after she asked him, “If you have a diamond at home, why do you want to mess around with rocks and stones?”
      The I’m a Celebrity star also whisked Faryal off on a romantic trip to Mykonos in the wake of the scandal.
      She later released a bombshell statement on Instagram slamming Sumaira.
      Faryal said she was refusing to “play out my marriage publicly” but had released a statement “after a long week of accusations, slander and harassment”.
      She has also claimed she has been victim of a “hate campaign” and accused a representative of Sumaira of trying to “tarnish” her reputation.
      And Faryal addressed how she has “bared the brunt of many scandals and embarrassing events”.
      She said: “I am being criticised for being Amir’s wife, for still staying with him knowing his ‘track record’.
      “This is the man I am married too and have three young children with. The whole world is aware of his track record, his reputation precedes him, why would you as a single woman want to engage in a conversation with him at all?’
      “My focus is my children and shielding them from all that is happening. I am simply a mother trying to do what’s best for her children and that is all I am willing to pour my energy into.”
      Amir and Faryal wed in a £1million bash at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 2013.
      In 2014, they welcomed their first child, daughter Lamaisah, now nine.
      They also have daughter Alayna, five, and three-year-old son Muhammad.
      The couple previously split in 2017 after their marriage continued to be dogged by cheating rumours.
      At the time, Faryal slammed the former light-welterweight world champion for repeatedly sleeping with other women.
      Khan hit back by claiming his wife had slept with Anthony Joshua, which the boxer has always denied.

      More recently, the couple starred in BBC series Meet the Khans: Big in Bolton, which finished its third season earlier this year. More

      KSI posted on Instagram: “The PRIME card is here!
      “We will both fight on the same night for the first time since our rematch in 2019, live on DAZN PPV. Opponents will be announced soon.”
      Mams Taylor, KSI’s manager, commented: “The most epic card in history incoming. Guaranteed!”
      KSI, 30, drew with Paul, 28, in 2018 before winning the rematch a year later by split-decision when they turned professional.

      Since then, they have launched the hugely popular Prime hydration drink.
      Paul has not boxed since June 2021, when he took American legend Floyd Mayweather, 46, the distance in their exhibition.
      Meanwhile, KSI fought in May and knocked out businessman and boxer Joe Fournier, 40, with an accidental but illegal elbow.
      The KO victory was overturned to a no-contest and KSI soon turned his attention to Tommy Fury, 24, who beat Paul’s brother Jake, 26, in February.

      Talks dragged on amid weight and money rows but a deal was said to have been close to being confirmed.
      And Misfits Boxing fuelled speculation further by posting a fight poster with the word “Fury” written in fire on it.
      Paul was due to share the same card with KSI in January before a WWE injury forced him out.

      Amir Khan sends Errol Spence brutal warning over ‘stone-cold killer’ Terence Crawford after 2019 battering in Las Vegas

      But Nebraska’s 35-year-old WBO welterweight champ welcomed Our Amir into his training team for his 2022 retirement loss to Kell Brook and treated him and his wife like family.
      Now the two Americans are set to clash to decide an undisputed welterweight king – also perhaps the finest fighter on the planet.
      And Khan is telling the 33-year-old Dallas cowboy to watch out for an ice-cool assassin with a warm heart buried deep away from the ring.
      The 36-year-old Brit explained: “When we trained together in Omaha his personality was chilled and calm, he talked to everyone and had no entourage. He’s a peoples’ champion and a lovely man.
      Read More on Boxing
      “After we fought and I went to train with him, he took me and my wife out for dinner and with all the coaches, a get-to-know-each-other meal.
      “He checked on the food we wanted, made sure it was halal and paid the bill, he is very caring.
      “But, when I first met him in London, before we fought, he was stony-faced, a stone-cold killer. 
      “He just came for a war, that is the type of guy he is.
      Most read in Boxing
      “There was no smiling, he just stood there and stared at me, watched and studied everything I did. He is very intimidating.”
      The British 2004 Olympic silver winner and former super-lightweight world champion underwhelmed in the New York clash with Crawford that sparked the money-spinning end of his career.
      In truth, the damage was done three years earlier when he chose to fight Mexican monster Canelo Alvarez at middleweight and suffered a sickening knockout that fans feared had done irreparable damage.
      Looking back, the freakishly fast, brave and endearingly naive veteran is just proud of his record that will stand the test of time.

      He recalled: “Six rounds with Crawford went by and he was beating me to the punch and making me miss. He was the first person who showed me my timing was going.
      “The fight against him convinced me to only take big fights next, because I had to cash-out and make sure I never had to work again and my family would be secured.
      “Compared to Canelo, I was sharper and at my peak then, Canelo was much easier to hit, Crawford always made me miss.
      “Canelo stood and took my shots but he was too huge and strong when I got in the ring with him that night.
      “I wanted to fight the best out there and it was amazing to face Crawford.
      “I had to hold my hands up and say that the better man beat me.

      “I trained so hard for that fight but he is one of the best, I will never be happy that I lost but I will always be proud that I faced him.”

      Anthony Joshua’s former trainer claims heavyweight would lose to lightweight boxer NINE STONE lighter than him

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’S former coach has fired another dig his way – by claiming he would lose to lightweight Gervonta Davis. American trainer Robert Garcia was brought in by AJ last year following his first defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

      And after Usyk, 36, won the rematch last August, Garcia was publicly critical of Joshua, 33, which led to his dismissal from the camp.
      It appears the animosity is still there as Garcia joked Davis – who is NINE STONE lighter – would win a fight against him.
      The insult came as ESNews asked who would win between “Tank” Davis, 28, and super-bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue, 30.
      Garcia said: “Why are you even talking about that? He’s a 122lber.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      To further this point, Garcia’s friend then jokingly asked: “Who wins, Tank or Anthony Joshua?”
      But Garcia shouted out: “Tank probably beats Anthony Joshua!”
      Joshua weighed 18st 2lb for his last fight, a win over Jermaine Franklin in April while Davis is a 9st 9lb boxer.
      AJ – now trained by Derrick James in Texas – returns on August 12 in a rematch with Dillian Whyte, 35, who he beat in 2015.
      Most read in Boxing
      And Joshua is also in line to face Deontay Wilder, 37, in Saudi Arabia in January and Garcia did throw some rare backing his way.
      He told Boxing Social: “People might think that Wilder has insane power where he’s gonna be much stronger or hits harder than Anthony. I don’t know.
      “I’ve never felt Wilder’s power but I have felt Anthony. Anthony has great power. Unbelievable power.
      “I think it’s one of those fights where whoever lands first, whoever wants it more, is gonna be the winner.
      “It’s a fight that I would love to see even though I’m not working with Anthony.”

      Inside Amir Khan’s rollercoaster relationship with wife Faryal Makhdoom amid sexting scandal and ‘separation’

      by

      AMIR Khan’s marriage is on the rocks after wife Faryal Makhdoom moved out of the family home following his latest ‘cheating’ scandal.The former world champion boxer, 36, apologised and offered to get counselling after we revealed he text a model begging for saucy pictures.

      In an exclusive interview, he told us: “I am willing to go to ­therapy to stop me sending texts to women who aren’t my wife.
      “I think nowadays with mental health issues, any help goes a long way. It’s definitely something I would do. Things like that do help, so maybe it’s something to think about.”
      But it looks like enough is finally enough for Faryal, 31, who has stuck by her man’s side through multiple public humiliations.
      She confronted him at their home in Dubai earlier this month when she saw our story about Amir begging bridal model Sumaira, 25, for racy pictures and trying to meet up with her.
      READ MORE ON AMIR KHAN
      He approached Sumaira online in May in the run-up to his and Faryal’s 10th wedding anniversary, initially complimenting her on her tattoos before things took a raunchier turn.
      Amir and Faryal were introduced through a mutual friend, and tied the knot in a glamorous 1000-guest ceremony at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 2013.
      Their daughter, Lamisah, was born the following year.
      But their romance was rocked after a long-rumoured sex tape of Amir was was leaked online.
      Most read in Boxing
      The X-rated clip shows him in just a T-shirt and boxer shorts performing a sex act on himself while in conversation with a female model on the video call service Skype.
      It is believed to have been made just weeks after the lavish wedding.
      Faryal was said to be “absolutely disgusted” by the video — which was published on a major US porn website.
      The pair appeared side-by-side to put on a united front during an appearance on ITV’s This Morning.
      Amir said on the show: “I love my wife, and I love my family. The marriage is brilliant, it’s going really well. Everything is fine between with us.”
      While Faryal added: “It’s just the past that’s coming back to try and bring us down.
      “But our focus is now the next fight.”
      In 2015, reality show star Lateysha Grace claimed she was offered £2,000 by Amir for a foursome in Miami.
      The Sun also revealed how he spent the night with former escort Christie Lee Hoyle while his wife was pregnant in 2013.
      Around the same time he allegedly bombarded Clair Nuttall with lewd texts urging her to perform sex acts on him and begging for a threesome.
      Faryal confronted Clair and French lingerie model Eglantine-Flore Aguilar over their alleged trysts.
      Amir has also been linked with a string of other women, including model Natalie Fox and Playboy star Carla Howe.
      In September last year, Amir spoke of his regret at the way he publicly, and falsely, accused heavyweight Anthony Joshua of having an affair with Faryal.
      Speaking about the incident on Gary Neville’s and Sky Bet’s The Overlap, he confessed: “I had the problem with Anthony Joshua, which I feel really bad for because at the end of the day I put him in the firing line for no reason.
      “I mean he was a friend of mine and since then we’ve never spoken. So I lost a good friend through that as well.”
      Cheating allegations aside, Amir and Faryal’s marriage has also been blighted by a bitter family feud.
      The row started when Faryal posted a “naked” selfie on her Instagram – and Amir’s Muslim parents were allegedly disappointed to see their daughter-in-law wearing very little clothing.
      Faryal then took to Snapchat to blast her in-laws, claiming that she was being abused by them.
      She accused her mother-in-law, Falak Khan, of trying to break the couple up when she was pregnant with their child: “When you force your son to divorce his wife, When she’s nine months pregnant!!!
      “And your son doesn’t … and he sticks besides his wife. He’s called a p***y!???
      “Ok, I’m guessing Islam teaches us to get married and divorce our wives and treat them bad???”
      That was followed by Amir’s father Sajjad Khan branding her “very evil” and hinting divorce could be on the cards for the couple.
      “She is trying to come between us, she is trying to break up the very close relationship we have with Amir. She is a very evil woman,” he said, according to the Daily Star.
      “I have given and taken with her. We all have. All she wants is the limelight.”
      In response, Faryal’s own parents, Shaukat and Zia Makhdoom, sent an impassioned plea to their son-in-law not to start divorce proceedings.
      “We have hearts, hearts that are broken when we hear such things. We are living in fear that at any moment our daughter will get divorced,” said Faryal’s mother.
      “Please accept the girl as your own daughter. And please don’t say such a word to any girl, to anyone’s daughter.

      “We are parents too. We are living in fear that at any moment our daughter will get divorced. May they always live happily.”
      The vicious feud had caused Amir to lose contact with his family.
