Pakistani-born British boxer Amir Khan has apologized for having sex with other women, saying he is willing to undergo therapy to stop doing so.
According to JEE News, the former world champion apologized to his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, after she asked him: “If you have a diamond in your house, why do you want to mess with rocks and stones?”
The publication revealed two weeks ago that the boxer had asked a model for sexually explicit photos, told a sad story about his marriage and asked to meet her.
Now the 36-year-old has admitted he made “mistakes” and “hurt” his wife and said he would be willing to see a specialist to stop having sex with the women.
“I’m ready for therapy to stop texting women who aren’t my wife.
“I think with mental health issues these days, any help goes a long way. It’s definitely something I would do. Things like this help, so maybe think about it. Talk about it,” he told JEE News.
This is not the first time that Khan has allegedly cheated on his wife. Since their wedding in 2013, the couple’s marriage has been rocked by such rumours. The pair split briefly in 2017 after the boxer accused his wife of cheating on him – allegations he has categorically denied.
Faryal criticized Khan at his home in Dubai earlier this month after JEE News reported that he was “begging” the bridal model for candid photos.
A furious Faryal – who shares three children with Amir – lashed out at Khan, who said: “She was disgusting. It’s not a good thing to do.
“She was very angry because I shouldn’t talk to people like that.
“He said, ‘If you have a diamond in your house, why do you want to mess with rocks and stones?’
“It’s not good what I’ve done. One day my children will grow up and read these things, and it will upset them.
“I don’t think I was cheating; it was just a few texts. But I regret doing it.
“I can only apologize to Faryal. People are messaging him about it, ‘Did you see this article?’ Rubbing it in his face. It’s sad.”
He added that he believed the sexting was due to a lack of anything better to do.
“I think I do these things out of boredom – I don’t think I can help myself.
“You get bored and start making mistakes.
“If I’m not careful, I’ll get myself in trouble – especially with the wife. She’ll say, ‘I’ve had enough’.”
