Boxer Amir Khan removes father from management team
Tuesday, January 31st, 2017 12:55:33 by fatimaarshadBoxing champ Amir Khan has been making rounds on the internet lately for feuds within his family and in an attempt to keep family separate from business, he dropped his father and relatives from his management team.
According to the latest details, Khan removed his father, Shah Khan, uncle, Tahir Khan and best man Saj Mohamed, from his boxing management team and he aims to keep it that way. Since the beginning of his career as a boxer, Khan’s father had acted as the manager and negotiator, so this moves comes as a shock to many.
However, Amir Khan has now said that “business is boxing and I’ll have a different team to do that,” Mirror reported. The boxer mentioned that he is on good terms with his family despite being hurt by the disagreements.
As per the publication, the boxer said that he intends to have “a family relationship with them rather than a business relationship. They’ll be at my next fight, hopefully. I will invite them.”
Trouble in Khan’s family-life started in the later part of 2016, when his wife Faryal Makhdoom, made some shocking revelations on her Snapchat account, claiming that she had been abused by her in-laws.
After that, allegations were hurled on both sides of the family and Shah Khan claimed that Faryal lied about abuse and mistreatment; he further added that she was neither a good wife nor a decent mother. He even claimed that his son would soon divorce his wife, but this claim was vehemently denied by both Khan and Makhdoom.
