Amir Khan celebrates engagement to Pak-American Faryal Makhdoom – Boxing news
Former unified WBA (Super) & IBF light welterweight champion Amir Khan celebrated his engagement to Pakistani-American student Faryal Makhdoom with a £150,000 gig this weekend at the Rebook Stadium, Bolton.
The engagement was announced earlier this month by the British-Pakistani boxer and this weekend the rings were finally exchanged.
At the ceremony, as promised, Khan presented a three-diamond studded ring to his fiancé Faryal. If sources are to be believed, the net worth of the ring is around £100,000. Faryal, the American beauty with a tinge of Pakistani appeal, presented her fiancé
with a platinum band which was equally as impressive as the former’s ring.
Some most noticeable guests included England international footballer Wayne Rooney, boxer Ricky Hatton and another England footballer Rio Ferdinand. The American student flew to England from New York a week earlier for her engagement bash. As Khan announced
some days back, the boxer wanted to take his fiancé around town prior to their engagement ceremony. In addition, the couple revealed that they plan on living in the north of England after marriage.
Amir was presented a BMW 750Li by Faryal’s father as reported. In addition, headlines last week suggested that Faryal’s family especially her father has taken Amir very seriously, more like his own son and is very joyous on his daughter’s choice.
What was surprising was Amir’s revelation to Faryal’s family when he flew over to New York earlier this month. The boxer reportedly told her family, “A lot of girls back home have said to me, your girl is beautiful - and that's great because people can be
so jealous.”
On the other hand, the beauty of the day revealed, “I was used to London accents and thought that's how everyone spoke in Britain. But when Amir opened his mouth it was completely different. It was like he was speaking in a foreign tongue — so I just used
to nod, agree with whatever he was talking about and say, 'Yeah'. He'd say things like "daft" and "innit" and I had no idea what they meant.”
