Amir Khan and his wife Faryal Makhdoom appear to be divorcing after a tweet from the boxer's account accused her of cheating on him with Anthony Joshua.

It's not known whether the Olympic champion was hacked or not, but messages from his account read: "So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I'm currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best."

He followed it up with a screenshot of a Snapchat conversation, which he claimed was between Faryal and Anthony.

"Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer," he tweeted.

He went on: "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."

The announcement appears to have come as a surprise to his wife and mother of his daughter, who tweeted him back saying: "I'm not sure if it's your family tweeting for you. But I'm not the one who been in the papers for cheating."

She went on: "Stop making false things up.

"Accusing other boxers just because your boxing career is finished. Man up amir," she added.

"After all these years. I've always defending a cheat, always stuck around for him, always had his back. And I'm called a gold digger?"

"LOL! He's given me jack s*** -- I pay house bills and bills for my daughter myself! It's like I'm a single mother while he's out messing."

Anthony Joshua has since hit back at Amir's cheating accusations, insisting that he's never even met Faryal, let alone had an affair with her.

He tweeted a clip of Shaggy's famous hit It Wasn't Me, all about a man trying to cover up his infidelity from his girlfriend.

Joshua followed that up by insisting he was completely innocent.

"Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met!

He added: "Plus I like my women BBW."

Mirror Online has contacted reps for Amir and Faryal for comment.

The couple were last pictured together just five days ago at an ice bar in Dubai.

They'd spent Jul 27th together celebrating Faryal's 26th birthday, with Amir posting a public tribute to his wife wishing her lots of love and happiness.

The news came after Amir and Faryal appeared to have ended their bitter six-month feud with his family - after Faryal became the peacemaker.

The former boxing world champion was thought to have put an end to the family fall-out and toxic war of words after holding out an olive branch to his dad Shah.

Shah was sacked as his manager earlier this year when the feud hit rock bottom.

The boxer decided to bury the hatchet after inviting Shah to watch Pakistan versus India ICC Champions Trophy match at Edgbaston in Birmingham in June.

The clear-the-air talks and meeting was orchestrated by Faryal, who has been subjected to a torrent of abuse and vile comments from Khan’s family which initially centred on her choice of Western dress.

But Amir and Faryal vowed to start afresh during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and had started to build bridges to heal the rift between themselves and his family.

Amir took to his Facebook page to post the message: “My dad and I at the pak v ind cricket match last weekend. We both had a great time together. Faryal and I decided to put everything behind us. She played a big part in helping me move forward. Life is too short.

“It’s the month of Ramadan. This is the month Allah asks us to clean our hearts & love one another. A lot has happened but my wife and I have accepted to move forward with a clean heart. We hope to expect the same from others ???? Ameen.”

Faryal, who married Khan in a lavish ceremony four years ago, showed solidarity with her husband by liking the post.

Amir also tweeted a picture of himself and his dad with their arms around each other at the cricket match and added: “Past is the past. Looking forward to a brighter tomorrow.”

Thirty-year-old Amir, who has a three-year-old daughter with Faryal, first hinted of family troubles when he told that his family had moved out of the house which is next door to his in a leafy suburb of Bolton and that he had done his best and bought them a new home.

As things escalated Faryal took to her Snapchat page to denounce her in-laws in a public feud which was played out over months on social media and in the Press.

In December Faryal claimed she had been subjected to a tirade of abuse, and accused her in-laws of trying to destroy her marriage.

Amir’s mother responded in the press accusing Faryal of lying, adding: “I once told her, ‘Faryal, do not wear this type of clothes; wear a scarf.’ But she paid no heed so I stopped saying it to her again, because it was Amir’s duty to tell her that.”

In retaliation Faryal posted a snapchat of her Amir’s brother naked saying “My dressing is an issue. Double standards.”

She posted: “Don’t get your sons married if you’re going to abuse and bully the wife. I’ve always been so quiet but seriously this message is for everyone!”

Former world champion boxer Amir then threatened to cut his parents out of his life and took the first move by sacking his dad with a public announcement in February.
