Amir Khan says he has cleared the air with Anthony Joshua after the heavyweight champion was unwittingly drawn into a bizarre row between Khan and his wife.
Last week Khan stated his intention to split from wife Faryal in a series of angry tweets, which saw Joshua repeatedly name checked.
Joshua was quick to distance himself from the situation and on Friday, Faryal Makhdoom Khan posted on Twitter that her husband had been sent “fake screenshots” alleging that her and Joshua had been speaking, adding that the two “have never even met”.

She added that “it’s all cleared up now” and Amir Khan tweeted Joshua to say: “Glad all is cleared up and all lies. I got angry like any man would. No truth to it. Good to know. All the best.”
Joshua, who reacted to the initial incident with good humour by tweeting a video of Shaggy’s ‘It Wasn’t Me’, replied: “Apology accepted”.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
