British boxer Amir Khan was left raging after the Emirates airline refused to let him take excess baggage on board.

The 26-year-old, who wrote on Twitter that he was due to fly out to Pakistan to see his mother, took to the social network site to criticise their baggage rules.

Khan tweeted: "Just checked in for my flight to Pakistan via Dubai. It will be the last time I fly with £Emirates business class. Very poor service. Not allowing 5kg extra of charity clothing between three of us."

Meanwhile, the Bolton boxer claimed earlier this month that he wants his next fight to be held in the UK.
