Amir Khan presents baby world champion in WBC belt

Amir Khan presents baby world champion

Amir Khan and wife Faryal Makhdoom have recently had the joy of bringing to the world their lovely new baby boy, Muhammad Zaviyar, adding a third child to their family.

Recently, the champ presented his cute baby to the world by posting a photo of him wearing a WBC champion belt.

“Welcome little champ #kingkhan,” former unified champion Khan captioned the photo.

Muhammad Zaviyar Khan was born on February 22, 2020, weighing a healthy 7lbs 12oz. The couple are already parents to Lamaisah and Alayna.

Amir and Faryal married in May 2013 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Lamaisah was born in 2014 and Alayna came along in 2018. They split briefly for a short while but reconciled very soon after.

Khan's hasn't fought since July 2019, which ended as a fourth-round stoppage win against Australian Billy Dib in Saudi Arabia.

The Bolton fighter, a former super-lightweight world champion with the WBA and IBF, declared he wants to take a tune-up bout against a top-10 contender before facing WBA 'Super' champion Manny Pacquiao.

"Because of the coronavirus lockdown, I wouldn't mind a fight to get back into the groove of things, before a big fight against someone like Manny Pacquiao," the 2004 Olympic silver medallist said.

Khan has called out Filipino Pacquiao, the current WBA 'super' welterweight champion and the only eight-weight champion in history, many times before.

The two know each other well, having sparred countless rounds together when they trained under the tutelage of Freddie Roach in the Los Angeles' Wildcard Gym, before Khan split from Roach in September 2012.

"The Manny fight is something I've always wanted," Khan said.

"If it happens, great, but if not we'll look at other options."

The WBC family and its President Mauricio Sulaiman sent Amir and Faryal great happiness for their lovely family.
