(Web Desk) - Amir Khan is facing a potential High Court battle after denying allegations involving sex tapes and blackmail.
The former boxing champion and his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, have reportedly launched a libel lawsuit against solicitor Faryaal Hussain after she made the claims on a podcast in 2023.
Khan and his wife, who want up to £100,000 in damages, deny the allegations, calling them false, malicious and unproven.
Khan was also accused of sending unsolicited naked photos to women.
Hussain’s 21-page defence document, filed at the High Court this month, sets out detailed claims against Khan and his wife.
He allegedly sent messages to women via social media.
One allegation claims he recorded a woman during an intimate act.
She then received an “aggressive call” from Khan, Hussain claims.
It is alleged that he told the woman that if the public knew what had happened, it “would jeopardise his hit reality show Meet the Khans“.
The documents also say Makhdoom made threats.
Another woman allegedly began speaking to Khan in 2023 and was promised £20,000, according to the defence filing.
The court paperwork claims Khan sent “frequent late-night messages containing sexualised compliments and intrusive questions” about her body.
If the case proceeds to trial, Khan and Makhdoom could both be called to give evidence in court.
