      by

      But he is now on the back of two wins, on points against Jermaine Franklin, 30, and a brutal knockout of Robert Helenius, 39.
      Khan, 36, knows all too well the struggles of living up to his name and warned AJ to block out the noise especially online.
      He told Boxing Social: “You go on social media, you’re still not left alone, people are picking on you or talking bad about you or some people are bigging you up and wanting to see you fight again.
      “So, your days are so crazy, and sometimes, if you get involved in that, it can start to affect you. I think with Anthony Joshua, that’s what’s happened.

      “He needed to get away from social media, from his busy life. I’m sure when he walks the streets in the UK, he’s easily recognisable.
      “It was the same with me – there’s only probably one British-Pakistani boxer, everyone can recognise me from a mile away.
      “It did get to be too much for me, where I needed to walk away from the sport.
      “When I did, it was the best thing ever, and now I’ve got to do things that I’ve never have done.”

      Khan’s comments came after Joshua spent FOUR DAYS in a £2,000 darkness retreat where was alone with his thoughts in the pitch black.
      AJ is now out in Texas with head coach Derrick James ahead of an expected return in December or January.
      But promoter Eddie Hearn warned it is unlikely to be against Deontay Wilder until the first third of the year.
      That is despite Wilder, 38, speaking out to publicly challenge Joshua, 34, to a fight.

      It allowed his side to hold on to a vital 1-0 win, sparking jubilant scenes among players and fans alike at Old Trafford.
      Argentine winger Garnacho later took to X, formerly Twitter, and posted a snap of the players celebrating with Onana following the penalty heroics – captioned with two gorilla emojis.
      He swiftly edited and then deleted the post, but the FA has been alerted and are liaising with the 19-year-old as part of a probe into the matter.
      There’s no suggestion of racism behind the message, but he may face a suspension if the FA adopt the same approach they have in the past.

      However, Onana has now taken to his own social media to defend the teenager.
      Over two Instagram stories, he said: “People cannot choose what I should be offended by.
      “I know exactly what @garnacho7 meant: power and strength. This matter should go no further.”
      The comments were shared by Garnacho on his own Instagram account.
      Most read in Football
      But the FA is understood to have sought Garnacho’s observations on the original post.
      Speaking about the post today, United manager Erik Ten Hag said: “We are talking with the FA. I can confirm that and want to emphasise we are together.
      “We are United and you see that in the post of Andre Onana.”
      It comes after Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani was suspended for three games for writing “Gracias Negrito” to a friend while playing for United in 2020 – after the footballing body found it a racial term.
      Cavani asserted the message “was intended as an affectionate greeting to a friend” following an apology.
      But he was slapped with a £100,000 fine and made to complete face-to-face education.
      A year earlier, Manchester City’s Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva was handed a one-match ban and £50,000 fine after he posted an image of the popular Conguitos chocolate bar, which has long been accused of racist undertones.
      The Sun has approached Manchester United for comment.

      Aadam Hamed, 23, who is following in his father’s footsteps in the ring, posted a selfie of the couple by the pool.
      They had earlier enjoyed a dinner date at five star luxury seafood restaurant Nammos.
      A source said Aadam, who made his professional debut in August with a first-round win, is smitten with Gemma, whose dad Michael scored 40 goals for England during his career.
      The source added last night: “They’ve been getting close for a while but this Dubai trip is them making it properly official.

      “He’s not had many serious girlfriends but he’s really serious about her. They’re smitten with one another.
      “They mix in the same circles, and she’s successful in her own right which appeals to him. They’re a lovely couple.”
      Love Island star Gemma, 20, fell for Aadam after splitting from Prince William’s pal, polo player Tommy Severn.
      Gemma, who has represented Team GB in dressage competitions, starred in Love Island in the summer of 2022.

      FA speak to Man Utd star Garnacho after he posts then deletes ‘controversial’ message about Onana

      And the young Argentine posted a snap of himself and other United players celebrating Onana’s heroics on Twitter – including two gorilla emojis.
      Despite swiftly editing then deleting the post, the FA were alerted to it and have since liaised with the 19-year-old winger to investigate the matter.
      And while there is no suggestion of racism behind the message, it is likely the athlete will be hit with a suspension if the Football Association adopt the same approach they have in the past.
      Previously, the FA has punished footballers over other controversial social media postings that were viewed as offensive – even if the meaning was unintended.

      The popular sports broadcaster, 36, is dating Love Island lothario Adam CollardCredit: Instagram
      Laura had taken to her page on X, formerly known as Twitter, following coverage of Premier League team Manchester United’s latest footballing clash.
      As part of her on-screen duties for TNT Sports, Laura interviewed the Old Trafford side’s boss Erik Ten Hag after his side’s 1-0 victory over Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League.
      Yet in a surprise turn of the events, the Red Devils’ gaffer grabbed the microphone and chatted to her instead.
      As Laura tried to wrap up the chat Laura attempted to shake his hand – yet found he turned around to her co-hosts Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand instead, leaving her hand flapping in the air.

      She remarked to the duo: “How weird was that? I didn’t know what to do with my hands with no microphone.”
      After the clip was posted to X, one troll remarked: “I’ll give you something to do with your hands,” presumably referring to a sexual act.
      Ex TalkRadio anchor Laura – who has long been subject to sexist comments – re-posted the sordid remark and swiped: “And will you provide the microscope too?”
      The remark is thought to be a catty reference to the size of the troll’s manhood, and left her fans in hysterics.

      Meanwhile, off-screen, Laura’s love life is blossoming.
      Love Island star Adam and Laura were first linked to each other back in September when The Sun revealed that they had enjoyed a string of dates.
      Recently, Adam spoke exclusively to The Sun on how he wooed Laura – even branding her “the one.”
      Geordie lad Adam has now revealed how he wooed Laura through a series of flirty social media exchanges, before wining and dining her on an “undercover date”.
      Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Adam said: “The first time we met – I’ll hold my hands up – I did DM her first and got a reply but then nothing ever happened.
      “Then she called us out for basically leaving her on read.
      “It’s hard to meet people, isn’t it? I’m from Newcastle and eventually we met up, and then went on a very undercover date, and obviously what comes out in the press, comes out in the press, but it’s not always the full story.”
      He then told us at The Best Heroes Awards: “I would never get in a relationship with someone at least at one point [unless] I thought they were The One.”
