The former unified light-welterweight world champion shared a video to his Instagram page of him and Tyson.

Khan asked Tyson about how many people he had knocked out.

But while doing so Khan, 36, was holding on to the former heavyweight champions hands.

While rubbing Tyson’s right hand, Khan said: “These are the hands of the main man. Mike, how many people did you knock out with these?”

Tyson, 56, responded: “I don’t know, 48 [in the ring] but like 200 in the street!”

However, fans were left baffled by Khan’s action of rubbing Tyson’s hand in the 20-second clip.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “Weird guy Amir.”

A second asked: “Why did he hold his hand for so long?!”

A third wrote: “What is he doing 😭😭.”

A fourth said: “Amir Khan is so funny man 🤣”

Another said: “Weirdest thing av ever seen.”

Tyson gave Ngannou a coaching crash course for his fight against Fury.

The UFC icon knocked WBC champion Fury down in round three, but controversially went on to lose the fight with a split-decision in Fury’s favour.

In the aftermath, Fury refused to confirm whether he would be fighting against Oleksandr Usyk in a unified heavyweight title clash on December 2023.

Promoter Frank Warren later suggested the fight could be delayed until February.

Khan was also pictured alongside rapper Eminem, while the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kanye West turned up as well.
