Khan has been married to Makhdoom since 2013
It’s a fight that is likely to grab the nation given the two men’s distinguished careers, with Khan transcending the sport of boxing to soak up the mainstream.
As well as winning an Olympic silver medal in Athens at the age of 17, the Briton also had a successful stint on “I’m A Celebrity” in 2017.
As well as being the highest-paid camp member in the show’s history, the 34-year-old suffered a public break-up with Makhdoom as it grew bitter and personal between the two families.
However, the couple are now stronger than ever and it looks like she learned a thing or two about boxing during their eight-year marriage, much to Khan’s surprise.

He said while distracted in an interview with SecondsOut: “Is the woman doing an interview on Sky?
“What’s going on here? I’m like ‘wait a minute’… .she’s really good at what she does but (makes a face).
The interviewer then tried to pressure Khan to answer that he was with Terrence Crawford’s camp, but the Briton remained distracted.
“I’m a little shocked. I see the woman on Sky talking about boxing.

Khan was impressed with what Makhdoom had to say
“She knows boxing, a lot of people don’t give her credit. She sometimes tells me what to do in boxing.
“Say we’re watching a fight together, ‘ah, he should jab some more. Why is it not good for the body? He must strike with the left backhand, because his guard is too low. He has to put his hands up.
“So she knows a bit about boxing, which surprises me quite a bit because she normally keeps her quiet.”
The interviewer then joked, “She’ll have expert work before you.” Khan replied, “I know, yeah, who knows.”
