Amir Khan takes American fiancee for sightseeing in Bolton

San Antonio Post (ANI) Monday 6th February, 2012

British Olympic boxing medallist Amir Khan recently took his fiancee Faryal Makhdoom for a tour of his hometown Bolton, England.

Last month, Makhdoom had showed him around her native New York.

The couple were snapped posing beside Big Apple landmarks like the Statue of Liberty.

He also showed his bride-to-be his gym, where she gave a knockout performance in the ring.

And the Manhattan beauty was left reeling when they braved the snow to take in Bolton's bus depot, the Sun reported.

"No wonder she can't wait to move here!" Amir quipped.

The ex- WBA and IBF light welterweight champion treated his 20-year-old fiancee to lunch at his much-loved chip shop before a romantic stroll around the playground at nearby Queen's Park.

In New York, Amir was amazed by the views from the top of the Rockefeller Center. Makhdoom had to manage with the views from the steps of Bolton Town Hall.

But Khan scored at the Reebok Stadium, home to his heroes Bolton Wanderers and the venue of the couple's engagement bash.

"Bolton Wanderers was the one thing I had heard of because he never shuts up about them, so it's nice to see where they play," said Makhdoom.

"We had our party in a suite here, it was incredible. After, we spent a few days in London but I was determined to show Faryal the sights of Bolton before she left. Now she's buzzing about the place!" Khan added.

The couple, who had a whirlwind romance after meeting last July, is looking forward to meet again next month.

"I've had a lovely time and the people in Bolton are great fun," Makhdoom said.

"I'm ready to go home but one day this will be home," she added. (ANI)
