British boxer Amir Khan has laughed off rumours that he has cheated on his pregnant wife Faryal Makhdoom with model Christie Lee Houle last month.

According to the Daily Star, the 23-year-old model claimed that she hooked up with the athlete in her flat six days before Faryal announced that the couple were having a daughter.

Following the allegations, Khan tweeted: "Hahaha they make me laugh. As if I would touch you! #inyourdreams."

Faryal also took to Twitter to defend her relationship with her husband by describing the Bolton-born fighter as a "gem".

Khan's wife is due to give birth in a couple of months.
