British boxer Amir Khan has blamed the lack of communication for his marital problems last year. Khan, who publicly accused wife Faryal Makhdoom of having an affair with fellow boxer Anthony Joshua, said the pair have put their misunderstanding behind them. Makhdoom is six months pregnant with the couple's second child.

"You want to change things at times. The way it went public wasn't nice, anger sometimes takes over. That happened in 2017. Hopefully, going into 2018, we've both put that behind us, we've got a lovely baby coming this year, we also have Lamaisah, our daughter, my boxing career, where I will get some good fights in. What went wrong? A lack of communication," Khan said during an interview on TV show Loose Women yesterday. Faryal added: "It was just a misunderstanding. I was in England and he was in Dubai. He thought he was cool in Dubai." Amir also blamed his hand injury for their marital woes and admitted that the best place for him is the boxing ring. "I was going through the hand injury and was not in the boxing ring. I was away from my family and was going through a lot," he said.
