Amir Khan has hit back at a fan over the cringe moment the British boxer presented rapper Eminem with a limited edition watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khan and the multi-million-pound music mogul were both attending a dinner in Saudi Arabia ahead of Tyson Fury’s fight with Francis Ngannou on Saturday night, and whilst Eminem was enjoying his cuisine, Khan saw an opportunity to give the 51-year-old the unique gift.<\/p>\n
Posting the video to his Instagram page, Khan is seen putting a limited edition WBC Championship title style watch around the wrist of a confused-looking Eminem.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The clip prompted a number of comments on Khan’s page, including one that slated the 36-year-old for interacting with the rapper by posting: ‘Eminem is worth more than you he don’t need your charity you sell out.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The harsh words saw Khan hit out at the comment, where he slammed the post by telling them to ‘shut the f**k up’ and then explained how Eminem had complimented the Brit boxer’s watch, and so Khan had given it to him as a gift.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Brit boxer was trying to give the rapper his exclusive WBC watch as a gift to the music star<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The exchange led to ridicule online, but Khan hit back by telling a fan to ‘shut the f**k up’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khan said: ‘Bro stfu. He’s a boxing fan and complimented the WBC watch only fighters got gifted today. So I gave him mine.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the awkward-looking exchange between the boxer and the rapper, the pair did pose for a more relaxed picture – the one that Khan lead his Instagram post with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khan is in town to watch the showdown between Fury and UFC star Ngannou, but has also been speaking about a possible comeback of his own next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The former light-heavyweight champion hasn’t stepped in the ring since his loss to Kell Brook in February 2022, and actually announced his retirement from boxing in May last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Brit boxer has been talking about a return to the ring to face Manny Pacquiao next year<\/p>\n
However, in an exclusive interview with Mail Sport, Khan opened the door on a return to the ring and targeted a fight against one of the sport’s biggest legends.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve been hearing rumours Manny Pacquiao is in town.’ Khan said. ‘We are in talks. We\u2019ve spoken a few times and that fight could happen. There\u2019s a lot of interest in that fight between Manny Pacquiao and myself.<\/p>\n
‘Manny is in town so this is where me and him will have a sit down. If it happens (the fight) here or somewhere else it would be great.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khan was handed a two-year ban from all sports back in April for failing a drugs test after his fight with Brook two years ago.<\/p>\n
That ban has since been backdated to the date of his provisional suspension because he hasn’t fought since his loss to Brock – meaning it will expire in April 2024, allowing a fight with Pacquiao to take place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
