Amir Khan has been reunited with a £72,000 watch that was stolen from him at gunpoint
He also revealed his plans to auction the watch off to “raise funds for the less fortunate”.
Amir explained that some of the proceeds would be donated to addressing gun and knife crime in the UK.
As well as his thanks to the cops, he praised the British media for raising awareness about his case.
In the social media clip, Amir was filmed holding the watch and saying: “I’m going to give this to charity now.
“I’m going to auction it. I’m going to give it to the Amir Khan Foundation…to help needy people.”
The former world champ previously revealed that he feared his kids would “grow up without a dad” after he was targeted by gun-toting thugs in East London in April last year.
He told Snaresbrook Crown Court that he was terrified as he stared down the barrel of a handgun while his wife, Faryal, sobbed beside him.
He said: “I remember the gun – a foot from my face. I remember looking right into the barrel there, looking into the gun barrel.”
Dante Campbell, 202, has pleaded guilty to the charges against him as the gunman involved.
Alleged accomplices Ismail Mohamed, 24, Ahmed Bana, 25, and Nurul Ami, 25, all deny conspiracy to rob.
Bana also denies possessing an imitation firearm.
