Amir Khan arrested over assault on 2 men

Former two-time world champion Amir Khan has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of two assaults, according to Sky Sports News.

The 27-year-old former Olympic silver medalist was arrested in his home town early on Friday morning.

A statement from Greater Manchester Police reads: "Just before 1.30am, police were called following reports of an assault in Bolton.

"Officers attended Russell Street and discovered two 19 year old men had been assaulted. Their injuries are not serious.

"A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of two section 47 assaults. He has been released on bail."

Khan has boxed at lightweight, light-welterweight and welterweight, since turning pro as a teenager after reaching the final of the lightweight division at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

Sounds like a movie title from Trussy's Peter North early years collection.

That makes it 5 wins on the trot for Khan. Nice going.

'Their injuries are not serious'

Typical khan, pitter-patter flurries.... still not sitting down on his punches.

I thought he wasn't fighting during Ramadan?

Maybe the young men broke fast and he was merely intervening to save their souls.

It was after sunset. All bets are off after sunset.

Some absolute comedy gold on this thread, well done lads

If khan fights during ramadam is he guilty of a ramadama dingdong?

I'd make a joke about being stoned to death, but with the current standard of testing in boxing he'd probably get away with it.

Charges have been dropped
