FORMER world boxing champion Amir Khan has been spotted in Northwich.

Khan, who hung up his gloves back in May was doing some shopping at Asda in Barons Quay.

He became a household name after winning a silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Games - when he was just 17-years-old. 

Khan, who also went on to become a unified world champion at light-welterweight as a professional retired with a record 34 wins from his 40 fights.

His legacy as one of the most entertaining and finest British boxers of his era was secured a long time ago.

It is thought Amir was in town filming Meet the Khans: Big in Bolton - the BBC television series which takes a behind the scenes peek into the world of Amir and his influencer wife Faryal.
