In a very long series of tweets Amir started off the row as he tweeted: “So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best.”

He then shared a snapshot of messages appearing to show Faryal messaging boxer star Anthony. He wrote: “Faryal moved on quick.

“Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer  @anthonyfjoshua.”

Following these tweets he shared others telling his wife “you getting the divorce” and labelled her a gold digger.

He wrote: “Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I’m not hurt but another fighter. I’m making it public. You getting the divorce #Golddigger.”

He added: “Lol moved up in the weight classes. Trust me I ain’t no jealous type. No need to send me pictures of the men you’re talking to #disgusted.

“Mans like Joshua can have my left overs!”

Within minutes Faryal hit out at Amir with a series of tweets firmly denying the claims.

In the first she slammed Amir’s claims of her being a gold digger. She tweeted: “I’m sure you left your family because they robbed you? Not because of me. Stop making false things up.”

Denying his claims of her hooking up with Anthony she said: “Accusing other boxers just because your boxing career is finished. Man up Amir.”

She then accused Amir of doing the dirty telling Amir she has “evidence that can destroy you”.

Faryal wrote: “I pay house bills and bills for my daughter myself! It’s like I’m a single mother while he’s out messing around.

“And he has the nerve to blast me like that? The amount of evidence I have on you. It can destroy you.

“I’m not the one who’s been in the papers every month with my pants down. Cheater!”

Continuing her rant she added: “You have actually lost it. Wtf  where do u make this stuff up from?

“At the end of the day I can hold my head high knowing I’ve given this marriage my 100% while Amir clearly hasn’t.

“Bad company, bad role model, always around women, alcohol and then he calls himself a Muslim and runs a charity.”

She went on to apologise to fans or family that “are hurt by this”.

She tweeted: “I’m sorry to all the fans & family hurt by this. But amir did not need to do stupid tweets accusing others when he’s in the wrong. #guilty.

“I think he just needs some attention because boxing hasn’t been going well for him so he’s just been acting up  #30yearoldbaby.”

Finishing off her rant she said: “Sometimes people don’t like it when you give them a taste of their own medicine.

“He’s in Dubai rightnow with a prostitute. While I’m getting accused of cheating? Treating the mother of his child like this, is sickening.”

The couple have faced allegations of his infidelity since their lavish wedding four years ago.

It’s been reported that Amir had been linked to several other women however he has always denied the allegations.

It was just last month the couple, who had their first child in 2014, renewed their wedding vows.
