Amir said: “I took my watch off and said ‘there you go’, I didn’t want the gun in my face any longer. “Life is way more important to me."The boxer then went on to do a bit of a stealth boast by casually mentioning his watch was worth £50,000 but he “had money in the bank so he’s okay”.

Faryal then said she “couldn’t stop thinking about it” and was imagining if Amir had been shot and what would happen to their children.
