BOXER Amir Khan thinks the latest addition to his family is just knockout after announcing his wife Faryal Makhdoom has given birth to a daughter.
Amir, fresh from his victory in the ring against Phil Lo Greco in Liverpool at the weekend, has taken to Twitter just days later to post a charming picture of him with newborn baby Alayna Khan.

The 8lb 3oz baby is dressed in a hat and leopardskin outfit.
The proud 31-year-old dad states: “Welcome to the world. With my and @faryalmakhdoom new born, Weighing 8lbs 3oz ALAYNA KHAN.” . He accompanies the tweet with an emoji of a baby.
Amir and Faryal, who married five years ago, already have a three-year-old daughter, Lamaisah.
Faryal, aged 26, announced in August that she was expecting a second child.
At the time she and Amir were separated after a very public exchange of remarks over social media three weeks earlier.
They subsequently reconciled shortly before Amir went to Australia to take part in the reality television show I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
Amir blamed his marital problems on lack of communication but by the end of the year they had put their problems behind them and were looking forward to expanding their family
One of the first to take to social media to congratulate the Khans on their new arrival was fellow contestant Jamie Lomas, who wrote: “Congratulations brother, sending the family my love.”
And Amir’s brother Haroon tweeted: “Welcome to the family.”
