      “They are waiting to see how this all pans out before a decision is made on the future of it.”
      The Sun On Sunday told how a woman, who asked to remain anonymous, claimed she romped with Khan in a hotel during a four-month fling last year.

      Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom parties WITHOUT her wedding ring after sexting ‘split’ from boxer husband

      by

      AMIR Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom was spotted partying without her wedding ring after allegedly splitting from her boxer husband. The mum-of-one, 32, danced the night away on Saturday with pals after she was caught up in a sexting scandal which saw hubby Khan meet a woman for hotel sex over a period of four months.

      A source said Faryal is now deciding ‘whether or not to walk away from the marriage’
      Khan was also without his ring last nightCredit: tnt sports
      The Sun on Sunday revealed Khan, 36, had demanded “no holds bar” sex from the woman earlier this year before the fling escalated.
      It’s understood Faryal found out about the betrayal before calling the woman, who wants to remain anonymous, and threatened to out her.
      A source said Faryal is now deciding “whether or not to walk away from the marriage”.
      And last night, donning a green top with feathered sleeves, she posed for Instagram selfies.
      READ MORE ON THE SCANDAL
      Not shying away from getting her left hand in the pics, Faryal happily showed her followers she was going out without her ring.
      It comes as Khan made his first appearance last night since the cheating allegations broke.
      He was spotted on TNT Sports ahead of the Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr fight.
      The former boxing champ was also without his wedding ring amid rumours the couple are now living apart.
      Most read in Boxing
      Khan sat on the panel of presenters and also discussed a potential return to the sport – ignoring the recent bombshell.
      In an interview with The Sun on Sunday, the woman involved in the sex scandal said that Khan told her his marriage was “on the rocks”.
      Khan had messaged the woman on Instagram in February after she viewed his profile.
      She said: “I got a notification that I had a message from Amir Khan. I was shocked and, at first, thought it was a joke but he asked me for my number and then started messaging me on WhatsApp.
      “He was intense straight away and spoke about his marriage problems. I thought he was very confident.”
      In one text, Khan said: “Things were a little tough [at the moment] with what we going through.”
      The woman said: “He then rang me and told me he was in an unhappy marriage — and it was more of a business arrangement.”
      The next day, Khan sent a number of selfies from a Pakistan work trip and asked her to send him some “naughty pictures”.
      He wrote: “I need to let me have u for a day locked up with me. Make it dirty n naughty. No holds bar. Everything goes. U know it’s been 4 months for me. No sex.”
      A fortnight later, the couple met up at a ­restaurant in Wembley, North West London, where Khan was hanging out with pals.
      She said: “I went to meet him for the first time and he was with friends.
      “We just chatted and it seemed normal to them he was meeting a woman that wasn’t his wife, which I found surprising.
      “Nothing happened but then the next day he asked me to drive to visit him in Manchester.”
      On March 7, the woman travelled from London to a plush hotel in Manchester where she checked in under the company name “Khan Operations”.
      She said: “It was quite brazen that I was checking in under his name.
      “We went out to dinner and then he had to go back to his friend’s house to FaceTime Faryal so she would think he was staying there while I waited at the hotel. We had a night of passion.”
      The following week, the woman claims Khan begged her to visit him at a hotel in London, where he was staying during a trial after he was robbed of his £72,000 watch in April 2022.
      She said: “He messaged me, pleading me to get to his hotel room at 3am. I ended up driving there later and stayed four hours.”
      She added: “Things started to get serious. He’d message he loved me and even asked me to be his girlfriend.”
      Just days later, Khan messaged: “Me and my wife are having big problems. On camera looks okay . . . I’m done.”
      But in May, he turned on a Whats-App function which means texts are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
      She said: “I asked him to turn it off as I felt insulted — like I was his dirty little secret.
      “He told me over the phone he’d been kicked out as Faryal had caught him cheating but he said it was an old video on his phone.”
      She and Khan met up one more time before the relationship swiftly ended.
      SEX SCANDAL
      On June 5, the woman claims she received a phone call from him to warn her that his wife had found her number on his phone and blocked her.
      She said: “He was flying back to Dubai without her and said he’d call me when he got there.”
      The woman then received a second call at midnight — but this time from Faryal, adding: “She said she wanted to know what was going on and Amir had told her I was a fan who was harassing him.
      “I put the phone down on her and she sent me a text message.”
      Faryal’s text to the woman, seen by The Sun on Sunday, read: “I know you’re a very bad liar and I can see right through your bs.
      “So next time stop stuttering and get your story straight.
      “Trying to protect a man who blocked you and doesn’t rate you. I have recorded the whole call and have proof of your harassment.
      “I don’t want to name and shame you . . . if I was you I wouldn’t even attempt to contact him.”
      The woman said: “I was in shock. There was no harassment as proven by the messages. I wasn’t allowed to contact Amir first.”
      On June 8, Khan sent a text saying: “She’s back today. I will message you soon.” The woman said: “He then went to the Maldives and I didn’t hear from him.
      “On June 15, I got a missed voice call and a voice note saying he’d call me when he can and a few days later he changed his number.”
      She added: “It made me feel like s***. He got what he wanted and then just dropped me.
      “I always knew he was married. It’s not about that. It’s the lack of respect and the sudden shift in behaviour. Faryal’s message was horrible too. It scared me.
      “I then found out that he had been sexting other women at the same time he was having sex with me — which I find vile.”
      The couple are now splitting their time between their homes in Dubai and the UK.
      Khan recently jetted back to London alone as he shared snaps onboard an Emirates flight.

      The victory would never have been in doubt even if the bout made it all the way to the final bell.
      All three judges had Crawford a long way in front in a show of his complete dominance in the ring.
      Spence only won one round on all three scorecards with every judge having Crawford leading 79-70 as the stoppage was made.
      Tim Cheatham and Steve Weisfeld both gave Spence the first round on their cards and no others.

      David Sutherland, meanwhile, scored the third round to Spence.
      Crawford also had a 10-7 round in the seventh with Spence hitting the canvas twice.
      What was billed a 50/50 blockbuster for the ages proved to instead be a one-sided battering.
      Following three savage knockdowns, experienced referee Harvey Dock stopped the fight while Spence was still standing.
      Most read in Boxing
      It gave Crawford bragging rights at last and cemented his place in history as the first man to become a two-weight undisputed champ.
      He said: “I’m so blessed. Like I said before, I only dreamed of being a world champion, I’m an overachiever.
      “No one believed in me when I was coming up but I made everyone a believer.
      “I want to thank Spence, his team like I told them without him none of this would be possible, right here tonight.” More

      And what was billed a 50/50 blockbuster for the ages proved to instead be a one-sided battering.
      Following three savage knockdowns, experienced referee Harvey Dock stopped the fight while Spence was still standing.
      It gave Crawford bragging rights at last and cemented his place in history as the first man to become a two-weight undisputed champ.
      He said: “I’m so blessed. Like I said before, I only dreamed of being a world champion, I’m an overachiever.

      “No one believed in me when I was coming up but I made everyone a believer.
      “I want to thank Spence, his team like I told them without him none of this would be possible, right here tonight.”
      Spence, a notoriously fast starter, began the fight well by managing to back Crawford up with his jab, which set up body shots.
      But the bout turned on its head in round two after Spence was dropped for the first time in his career.
      Most read in Boxing
      As the Texan leaned in for a combination, Crawford returned fire with a left hand and the subsequent right jab caused the knockdown.
      From then on, the unification became one-way traffic as the man nicknamed “Bud” put on a counter-punching masterclass.
      Spence did his best to take the fight to Crawford, closing the distance and hammering in body blows.
      But the three-division champion was too defensively sound and too sharp on the offence.
      Spence found himself on the deck once more in the seventh when a perfectly-timed uppercut left him on the seat of his pants.
      Crawford – considered one of boxing’s best finishers – followed it up with an onslaught and a right hook again caused another knockdown.
      Spence looked shaken to his boots but he survived to make it into the eighth, where the pace of the contest momentarily slowed down.
      But by the ninth, Crawford’s predatory instincts took over again and he poured on the pressure.
      Spence was made to swing and miss as he walked into counters.
      And when Crawford had the unified champ on the ropes and on the end of a vicious attack, Dock had rightfully seen enough.
      Despite the dominant nature of the victory, there could still be another chapter in the rivalry in the shape of a sequel.
      Spence has the right to invoke a rematch, something both men opened the door to.
      Crawford, 35, said: “Look how many people came out and showed me and Errol Spence support.
      “Like I said, if the fight happens again, I’m pretty sure everyone will come out and show support once again for the both of us.”
      Spence, 33, added: “We gotta do it again. I’ll be a lot better, it’s going to be a lot closer, probably be in December or the end of the year.
      “Hell yeah we gotta do it again.”

      Spence – beaten for the first time in his career – added that he hopes for the rematch to take place at the 154lb light-middleweight limit.
      But as the winner, Crawford has final say on what weight a potential rematch takes place at.

      TNT Sports broadcast Crawford’s dominant win on pay-per-view in the United Kingdom.
      But eagle-eyed boxing fans noticed they accidentally made a major gaffe with their graphics during the prelims.
      During a break between the action, they shared a fight card which showed Crawford fighting former interim WBO heavyweight champion Joe Joyce.
      And to make matters worse, Crawford’s name was misspelt and Joyce’s fellow British heavyweight Daniel Dubois also featured on the incorrect card.

      Fight fans were quick to comment, with one tweeting: “Teerence Crawford’ fighting Joe Joyce in the main event.”
      Another said: “Terence Crawford vs Joe Joyce in the main event and Daniel Dubois vs Joe Joyce X3 on the undercard.
      “Big night of action coming up in Las Vegas.”
      And another said: “I am so confused, what have Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce got to do with anything.”
