Greater Manchester Police are investigating an incident in which boxer Amir Khan filmed himself while driving his car.

Former world boxing champion Khan, 35, live-streamed himself interacting with fans as he drove around his hometown of Bolton on Christmas Day.

Khan could be seen reading messages from fans and answering questions in the eight-minute video shared on YouTube.

Greater Manchester Police told The Sun: “GMP was made aware of a video on social media which appears to have been filmed whilst driving a vehicle. Police are currently investigating.”

Khan was handed a six-month driving ban in 2007 for careless driving after he went through a red light in the wrong lane and knocked down a pedestrian.

He was also given a 42-day driving ban in 2008 after he was caught speeding on the motorway.

Khan is preparing for his fight against long-time British rival Kell Brook, set to be held at the Manchester Arena on February 19.

The long-awaited fight will see Khan return to the ring for the first time in over two years.
