Pakistani origin British boxer Amir Khan tied the knot at a lavish ceremony in New York on Friday with around 4000 people including family and friends attending the big bash wedding.
Khan formally engaged to Pakistani-American student Faryal Makhdoom on January 29 in New York. The couple celebrated with a £150,000 bash at the Bolton Wanderers’ Reebok Stadium.
The boxing sensation has started a two-hour dance practice session to dance in his own wedding.
The Walima will be held next week in the UK. Reports have it that Khan will whisk his bride back to Bolton, England, for another wedding bash to be attended by another 4,000 guests before they head on a honeymoon.
Amir, 26, said: “It’s time to settle down and hopefully it will settle me down a bit.
“We get on really well, and I know she will help me in my boxing career as well. I’m excited more than anything.”
