British Boxer Amir Khan gets hitched

Amir khan married his American fiance Faryal Makhdoom in a lavish ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

The 26-year-old former Olympian even danced to a Bollywood number with his ushers for 350 guests at the reception, the Mirror reported.

A source told the publication that the ceremony was incredible.

The insider further said that because of the boxer's busy training schedule, Makhdoom, who is a journalism student, had to look after all the arrangements and she did a brilliant job.

Khan admitted on Twitter that he had left most of the work to Makhdoom, and wrote: "The only thing I've done is try my clothes on."

The couple was due to return to Bolton for a ceremony with 4,000 guests, including footballers Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, and fellow boxers Ricky Hatton and David Haye.
