According to the British "Daily Mail" and "Sun" news on April 19, on the evening of April 18, local time, when the 35-year-old world boxing champion Amir Khan (Amir Khan) was crossing the road in east London, two robbers snatched his watch worth 72,000 pounds (about 600,000 yuan) with guns, and the boxer said that he was "very scared" at the time.
The incident happened at around 21:00 local time on April 18, when Amir Khan and his wife Faryal were crossing the road in the Leiden area of east London, 35-year-old Amir was walking in front, his wife Farrell was a few steps behind him, and suddenly two men ran quickly toward Amir, pointed a gun at his face, and snatched his £72,000 Franck Muller Vanguard Chronograph. Then he sped away.
Amir returned home, posted on social media Twitter about the incident and told his 2.1 million followers that he and Farrell were safe and unharmed. On the morning of the 19th, Farrell also sent a post confirming that Amir's watch had been robbed, and shared the serial number of the watch, hoping that someone could help them get the watch back.
Originally, Amir and Farrell had a pleasant and relaxing evening, just a few hours ago, Amir was shopping in Oxford Street when he met a fan, and he took a photo with the fan, and the expensive watch with 719 diamonds in the photo was very eye-catching.
The night before, Amir had attended a charity party at the Grosvenor House Hotel, and he had also shared photos on Instagram.
The Sun interviewed a witness to the scene of the robbery, who said that the British boxing champion and former Olympic boxing silver medalist was not lightly frightened, and the two robbers did not appear to be hanging out in the neighborhood by accident, they immediately got into the car after the robbery and fled, should have come prepared. This has raised fears that someone is making Amir a criminal target in the shadows, which is terrible.
Amir, a watch lover, had earlier put together photos of two high-end watches on social media, one was Frank Muller, who was robbed last night, and the other was a Rolex gold rolex, worth 30,000 pounds (about 250,000 yuan), Amir told fans that this was his reward for himself.
Amir loves this piece of Frank Mueller so much that in the family portrait photo he shared the other day, he also wears this watch on his hand. As a result, the media suspected that it was likely that criminals had targeted him through his social media, specifically waiting for him and robbing him while he was out.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said that after receiving the alarm at 21:15 on April 18, the police came to Leiden's High Road, where a man in his 30s was approached by two men and threatened with a gun, then snatched his watch and fled, there were no shootings at the scene and no casualties. An area search is currently under way, but no one has been arrested.
Born in 1986, Amir Khan is now a British professional boxer who was a former WBA super lightweight boxer and a silver medalist in Olympic boxing.
This is not the first time Amir has been robbed.
In 2012, 26-year-old Amir and his brother Hallen Khan, who is also a boxer, were driving a Range Rover (worth about 100,000 pounds, about 830,000 yuan) out of the way, and a car was stopped, and several people got out of the car, holding short sticks, and one of them ran up, slapped Amir in the ear, and hit him on the lips, only to have Amir take a step back and directly knock him unconscious.
After that, the 5 men came together to fight Amir and Harun, but apparently lost to the two boxers, and in the end, everyone was bruised and lost.
Onlookers said the gang of robbers had apparently "found the wrong person."
However, it seems that even the boxing king is afraid of guns.
