Amir Khan shows off luxury watch collection hours before three men are arrested following theft of his £72k timepiece
AMIR KHAN showed off his luxury watch collection just hours before three men were arrested following the theft of his £72,000 timepiece.
The ex-boxing champion was in April robbed at gunpoint in East London with his terrified wife Faryal, 30, only a few steps behind.
The alleged perpetrators have since been caught by police and Khan remains willing to reveal the collection of watches he worked hard to buy.
In a video uploaded on Instagram, he gave a glimpse of Rolex’s he has purchased – but does not regularly wear.
Khan, 35, captioned the post: “A nice collection of watches I collected in my boxing time. Don’t wear most of them but love them all.”
In the clip, he puts a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Oystersteel on his wrist, which can be bought for around £35,000.

An all gold Day-Date, which costs near to £40,000 as well as a green and gold version, are among the other stunning pieces.
Police announced this morning that three men are being quizzed on suspicion of robbery following Khan’s horror ordeal.
Two of them were also arrested on suspicion of having a gun with intent to cause fear of violence.
Hours before the robbery, Khan had been pictured with a fan while shopping in Oxford Street wearing the watch.

He was also wearing it in an Instagram post from a charity bash at the Grosvenor House Hotel the night before.
It raised fears the crooks may have targeted him specifically.
The now-retired fighter later shared a video on social media in the hours after the attack.
He told fans on Instagram: “Last night was a bit mad. I’m glad everyone is safe. It feels a bit weird not wearing a watch but it is what it is.
“I just wanted to tell you guys that I’m all good. Me and the wife are doing some TV work today.”
