Anthony Joshua denied having any involvement in the row between fellow British boxer Amir Khan and his wife, Faryal Makhdoom Khan, after their marriage appeared to end in a public spat on Twitter.

27-year-old Joshua was accused by Khan of having a relationship with his wife after their recent break-up, which 30-year-old Khan announced via social media on Friday afternoon.

Former light-welterweight world champion Khan posted a series of accusations on Twitter while in Dubai, to which 26-year-old Ms Khan responded with her own claims against him that included accusations that he has cheated on her in the past.

After the war of words appeared to end, Joshua took to Twitter to make light of the situation, posting a video of the song ‘It Wasn’t Me’ by Shaggy, before adding:

“Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met! Plus I like my women BBW #ItWasntMe.” -Anthony Joshua via Twitter

Khan posted an initial message that announced he and his wife were ending their four-year marriage, writing: “So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best.”

The post appeared to suggest an amicable break-up, but Khan followed up with a series of messages accusing Ms Khan of having a relationship with 27-year-old Joshua following their break-up, and labelled her a “Golddigger”

Alongside a picture of a separate conversation, Khan wrote: “Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer.

“Lol moved up in the weight classes lol. Trust me I ain’t the jealous type. No need to send me pictures of the men your talking to #disgusted.

“Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I’m not hurt but another fighter. I’m making it public. You getting the divorce #Golddigger.”
