Former world champion Amir Khan says he was robbed at gunpoint while out with his wife in Leyton, east London.
The 35-year-old wrote on Twitter that he had a “gun pointed in my face” as two men stole his watch.
The 2008 Olympic silver medallist was with wife Faryal at the time but said “the main thing is we’re both safe”.
The Metropolitan Police said they were investigating after being called to an incident on High Road, Leyton on Monday at 21:15 BST. “A man in his 30s is alleged to have been approached by two males who threatened him with a firearm before stealing his watch and fleeing,” Police said a statement.
