Boxer Khan says he was robbed at gunpoint in London

British boxer Amir Khan said he had been robbed at gunpoint in London but that both he and his wife were unharmed in the incident.

"Just had my watch taken off me at gun point in East London, Leyton," Khan wrote on Twitter. "I crossed the road with Faryal (Makhdoom), luckily she was few steps behind me.


"2 men ran to me, he asked for my watch whist having a gun pointed in my face. The main thing is we're both safe."

The 35-year-old, who won lightweight silver at the Athens Olympics in 2004 and is a former unified light-welterweight champion, suffered a comprehensive defeat to Kell Brook in February and said retirement was "something to think about".

UK weighs new ‘invite-only’ investor visa for wealthy foreigners after scrapping golden route

  • The UK is reportedly considering a new investor residency visa with a minimum £5m investment requirement.
  • The proposed route could focus on sectors such as AI, clean energy and advanced technology.
  • Wealthy Indians and global business families may closely watch the scheme if it moves ahead.

The UK government is reportedly exploring a new “invite-only” residency visa aimed at attracting ultra-wealthy investors, signalling a possible return of investor migration routes four years after Britain scrapped its controversial golden visa programme over money laundering concerns.

According to reports, the proposed UK investor visa scheme would allow selected high-net-worth individuals investing at least £5m into key sectors of the British economy to secure residency rights for an initial three-year period, with a possible route to permanent settlement later.
