Amid Anthony Joshua's Marriage Buzz, His Affair Allegations With Amir Khan's Wife Resurface

Anthony Joshua narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation after his Lexus SUV was involved in a massive accident. The heavyweight boxer's vehicle crashed in Nigeria on Monday, December 29, 2025, which resulted in his injuries and the deaths of two of his close team members, Kevin 'Latz' Ayodele and Sina Ghami. The popular British boxer is reportedly stable; however, his heart must be ailing, as he has lost some close friends. As Anthony Joshua's accident dominates the headlines, curiosity has been raised regarding his dating life, including his past cheating allegations.

Amir Khan alleged that his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, cheated with Anthony Joshua

Professional boxer, Amir Khan had once publicly alleged on social media that his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, had cheated on him with fellow heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua. In August 2017, Amir Khan posted a series of explosive tweets announcing his intention to divorce Faryal. He specifically tagged Anthony Joshua, mockingly suggesting that his wife had "moved up in the weight classes". He so took a dig at Anthony Joshua, stating that he could have Amir's "leftovers". Notably, Anthony Joshua was a father of a two-year-old at that time. Amir's tweet, which generated immense buzz at that time, could be read as:

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

Did Anthony Joshua and Faryal Makhdoom actually have an affair?

Following Amir Khan-levied infidelity accusations, Anthony Joshua immediately denied the claims, responding with a clip of Shaggy's song, It Wasn't Me. Anthony stated he had never even met Faryal Makhdoom. She also denied the affair, explaining that her husband had been misled by "fake screenshots." Faryal also lashed out at Amid, calling him a "bad role model," and suggested he was dragging her name in a false affair buzz because his boxing career was struggling and he needed attention.

Shortly after Faryal Makhdoom's public outburst, Amir Khan admitted the allegations were "all lies" and that there was "no truth" to them. He later explained he had "lost it" after seeing a simple, respectful message from Anthony Joshua saying "hi" during a period when he and his wife were not on speaking terms. Amir admitted his mistake and publicly apologised to Faryal and Anthony.

What is the current relationship dynamics between Anthony Joshua and Amir Khan?

Anthony Joshua and Amir Khan formally "buried the hatchet" in mid-2025 when the former traveled to Ghana to support the latter's inaugural event as a boxing promoter. The two boxers were pictured appearing cordial at the event. Amir Khan stated that they now speak on the phone "here and there" and maintain a respectful, positive connection. Amir has publicly admitted to making "silly" and "made-up" accusations in 2017 when he falsely claimed Anthony had an affair with his wife, Faryal Makhdoom. He expressed deep regret for "throwing [Anthony] under the bus" and acknowledged he lost a good friend during that period.

Was Anthony Joshua married at the time of the affair allegations with Faryal Makhdoom?

In August 2017, when Amir Khan falsely accused Anthony Joshua of having an affair with his wife, Anthony was not in a confirmed relationship. However, it is worth noting that around the same time, media outlets speculated that he was dating supermodel, Bella Hadid after they were seen together at public events. However, Joshua has since clarified that he was never romantically involved with her. Joshua had previously been in an on-and-off relationship with his high school sweetheart, Nicole Osbourne, and their relationship dynamics in 2017 were not publicly known. Nicole and Anthony have a son together, Joseph 'JJ' Joshua, who was born in October 2015.
