TWITTER users reacted with hilarious memes mocking Amir Khan’s vow “get back on top with big fights” after his very public split from wife Faryal Makhdoom.
The Bolton-born star has not stepped in the ring since being knocked out by Canelo Alvarez in May last year – but he’s certainly been active on social media recently.
Khan, 30, who won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics, announced the split on Twitter with his 26-year-old wife on Friday before accusing her of having a fling with Anthony Joshua - which the Brit heavyweight champ denied.
Faryal furiously hit back branding Khan a "cheater" and bad role model, before she deleted the majority of her posts expect the ones referring to his infidelity.
In his latest Twitter post, Khan has now vowed to "get back on top with big fights" and rejuvenate his career which has included 31 wins from 35 fights and a three-year reign as the WBA light-welterweight world champ.
Despite Khan's incredible hand-speed and boxing pedigree, many users on Twitter mocked his pledge for "big fights".
They posted memes showing clips from films and television which captured people laughing or reacting in horror or surprise - including Joshua himself and rapper Ice Cube in the cult-classic film Friday.
One simply replied with a picture of Joshua looking absolutely ripped at the weigh-in before one of his fights suggesting the love rivals should meet in the ring - here's a selection of the memes:

Khan now says he is off to San Francisco in mid August to start training with his US coach Virgil Hunter.
Despite being knocked out, Khan was widely praised for his bravery after stepping up in weight to fight the Mexican Alvarez, who is considered one of the world's best pound-for-pound boxers.
Since then Khan has faced frustration trying to secure a dust-up with Manny Pacquiao, while a fight with bitter domestic rival Kell Brook - who was thrown off an easyjet flight for causing havoc when drunk - also appears a long way-off.
Meanwhile a lingerie model who romped with Amir Khan behind his pregnant wife’s back last night insisted: “I warned her he’s a dirty love rat.”
Eglantine-Flore Aguilar, 24, says Faryal should have dumped the former light-welterweight world champion after she bedded him in March 2014.
Tanya Reed also warned Faryal about Khan after sharing a kiss with him in Marbella in 2012, six months before his wedding.
A year later The Sun revealed he spent the night with ex-escort Christie Lee Hoyle while his wife was pregnant and then in 2015 reality TV star Lateysha Grace claimed she was offered £2,000 by Amir for a foursome in Miami.
Joshua has denied having an affair with Amir Khan’s wife – by posting a music video of Shaggy’s It Wasn’t Me.
The world heavyweight champ followed the video with a tweet which said: “Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met!
"Plus I like my women BBW #ItWasntMe”
