British boxer, Amir Khan has praised his ‘forgiving’ wife Faryal Makhdoom over his several cheating scandals.

The boxer, 36, and his wife, 31, made headlines last month when a former BBC presenter accused the sportsman of making sexual advances towards her after they appeared at an event together.

The pair were also said to have separated and they lived apart over the summer after he reportedly asked a bridal model to send him raunchy pictures.

Speaking about his wife of 10 years – with whom he shares children Lamaisah, nine, Alayna, five and three-year-old Muhammad – Amir said: ‘Ah she’s brilliant, yeah, she’s good… Well, she is the big boss.’

He added on the They Don’t Teach This At School with Myleene Klass podcast: ‘I always get told off because I do silly things and I got caught doing silly things and obviously I’m human at the end of it.’
