      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.”

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Amir Khan & wife Faryal Makhdoom ‘separate’ as pal reveals she’s ‘thinking about walking away’ amid sexting scandal

      by

      AMIR Khan and his wife Faryal Makhdoom are reportedly separated and living apart after he was caught in a sexting storm.The boxing champ and Faryal are understood to be currently splitting their time between Dubai and Britain while she decides what to do next.
      Amir Khan has separated from his wife
      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.”
      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.
      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.
