Amir Khan has announced the birth of his second child with wife Faryal Makhdoom.

The boxer revealed their happy news on Tuesday, sharing a snap of his newborn on Instagram alongside a sweet caption.

Khan wrote: “Welcome to the world. With my and @faryalmakhdoom new born.

“Weighing 8lbs 3oz ALAYNA KHAN.”

Khan and Makhdoom are also parents to three-year-old daughter Lamaisah Khan.

Khan recently returned to the ring as he knocked out Phil Lo Greco in 40 seconds last weekend at Liverpool’s Echo Arena.

The on-off couple joined Loose Women back in January to discuss their marriage, with Khan blaming his “hand injury” for the breakdown of their relationship.

He said: “I had my hand injury. I was wrecking my marriage, I wasn’t boxing.

“Going through the hand injury that I had, not being in the boxing ring, being away from my family, going through a lot of stuff in my life, I think the best place for me is to be in the boxing ring.”

“The boxing champion blamed his hand injury for giving him “too much time to think”.
