Amir Khan makes peace with boxer after accusing him of affair with wife Faryal

Amir Khan, Faryal Makhdoom and Anthony Joshua

British boxer Amir Khan, who accused fellow boxer Anthony Joshua of having an affair with his estranged wife Faryal Makhdoom (right), seems to have made peace with him. Khan admitted he wrongly blamed Joshua in his public break-up from wife Faryal on social media.

"He [Joshua] rang me, he spoke to me. Everything is cool. I said: ‘look, everything was a misunderstanding and we just put a bag over it'. I want be able to come over and shake your hand, champ. We want to keep that respect and love," Khan told British tabloid, The Sun.

Khan, 30, an Olympics silver medallist, has not fought since his brutal KO loss to Mexican Canelo Alvarez in May 2016. And now, the unified light-welterweight world champion fears the public breakdown of his marriage will turn fans against him.
