arlier this month Amir Khan confirmed that he was splitting from his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, after he publicly accused her of cheating on him with fellow boxer Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n

Now, friends have claimed that Amir tried to leave Faryal, who he has three-year-old daughter Lamysa with, for two years \u2013 but she threatened to destroy his reputation if he did.<\/p>\n

Faryal reportedly said that she would \u201cexpose Amir\u2019s partying and womanising\u201d if he left her, with one pal telling The Sun: \u201cAmir has wanted to leave Faryal for two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time an argument blew up, [Faryal] would tell him he was dreaming if he thought he could divorce her \u2014 it would be her divorcing him because she had so much dirt on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said divorce could destroy him and leave his reputation in tatters. He would lose his money, sponsors, his fan base, everything.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she would tell him this in front of his friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was in a bad place and began drinking heavily to cope with the stress. He drinks the hard stuff \u2014 vodka, Johnny Walker \u2014 and sometimes drank all day.<\/p>\n

\u201cEventually he snapped. He told her, \u2018F*ck it, I\u2019m done with you. I don\u2019t give a damn. I\u2019d rather have my peace of mind.’\u201d<\/p>\n

The friend continued: \u201cNo one is saying Amir has been an angel, he is a lovely guy but loves partying hard, drinking, smoking sheesha and going out with beautiful women.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cFaryal began playing private detective and started building up ammunition against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thought of details about his drinking and womanising becoming public through a divorce remained a crushing one for him. He felt trapped by her. And it has taken until now for him to break free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amir recently admitted that Anthony Joshua had nothing to do with his marriage breakdown, dubbing the public spat a \u201cmisunderstanding\u201d and apologising to the star.<\/p>\n
