Friends and family members may have chosen to congratulate Amir Khan on his engagement by taking luxury hampers to his celebratory party.

The boxer hosted a lavish event at Bolton Wanderers' football ground where he introduced his fiancee Faryal Makhdoon to his 1,000 guests.

Dressed in a black suit, matching tie and white shirt, the 25-year-old posed for pictures alongside his wife-to-be, who opted for a traditional plum-coloured sari.

Ms Makhdoom completed her outfit with layers of jewellery, styled hair and henna tattoos on her hands.

Khan presented his partner with a £100,000 engagement ring that set him back almost as much as the party.

It is understood the sports professional paid £150,000 to hire out the venue and famous faces such as Wayne Rooney and Ricky Hatton attended the celebrations.

Elsewhere, singer Cher Lloyd recently announced she is engaged to her boyfriend Craig Monk, following a whirlwind six-month romance.
