AMIR Khan insists he is staying in Bolton despite putting his mansion up for sale. 

The 30-year-old and his wife, Faryal, put their six-bedroom mansion in Lostock on the market several months ago.

The boxer said he does not yet know where they will be moving to, with daughter Lamaisah, but said it will not be his wife’s native US.

He said: “I would never move to America, Bolton is my home and always has been.

“The love I get from everyone here is amazing.

“I train in America most of the time but it’s good to be in your home town.

"The local community is always very good to me.”
