A REALITY show on the life of two-time world boxing champion and Olympic Silver medalist, Amir Khan, is set to hit screens tonight.

Meet The Khans: Big In Bolton follows the professional boxer’s home life with wife Faryal Makhdoom and their three children. The full series was released on BBC iPlayer yesterday, however, it is also being shown on BBC One every Monday evening.

Amir said the show about his family brought them closer together and emphasises his strong connection to his home town of Bolton. Amir said he has had “so many opportunities” to leave Bolton, but has always stayed in the town.

“But something for some reason brings me back to Bolton, because my career started off here and the love I have got from the community here, it’s very hard for me to leave,” he said.

“I’ve got the boxing academy here where I’m teaching so many kids boxing and we are going to create some champions and Olympians.”

Faryal, Amir’s wife, who was born in the US, also added that she “loves” England.

You can watch Meet The Khans: Big In Bolton on BBC One on Mondays at 10.45pm.
