Former boxing world champion Amir Khan is stepping into the spotlight once again — this time far from the boxing ring. The Bolton-born sports icon has officially signed on to appear in Dubai Bling Season 4, Netflix's hit reality series showcasing the lavish lifestyles of Dubai's elite. He will appear alongside his wife Faryal Makhdoom, with sources suggesting her presence will bring immediate drama to the show.
Dubai Bling Season 4 Teases the Khans' Arrival
The fourth season of Dubai Bling recently released a teaser trailer that subtly hinted at the Khans' involvement — without revealing their faces. Insiders confirm the clip includes scenes of Amir training with a punchbag, paired with Faryal's unmistakable voice confronting another cast member: "How dare you show up!"
According to sources close to the production, Faryal "does not hold back" and becomes involved in an explosive early confrontation, setting the tone for what is expected to be one of the most dramatic season openings yet.
The show, often compared to the Real Housewives franchises, follows wealthy Arab and expatriate residents as they navigate luxury, relationships, and rivalries in Dubai.
Why Amir Khan Left the UK for Dubai
Amir Khan previously explained that safety concerns played a major role in his decision to relocate from the UK to Dubai. In 2022, the former world champion was the victim of a £72,000 watch robbery at gunpoint in London, an incident that occurred while he was with Faryal.
Speaking about life in the UAE, Khan said he feels a greater sense of freedom and security: "I can walk around wearing anything, doing anything. The law is much more strict." The couple has since established a new chapter in Dubai, embracing the city's lifestyle and privacy.
From BBC Three to Netflix: The Khans on Camera
This is not the first time the Khans have allowed cameras into their personal lives. Their BBC Three reality show Meet The Khans: Big In Bolton aired between 2021 and 2023, documenting their family life, public scrutiny, and relationship challenges.
While Amir and Faryal have faced highly publicised ups and downs — including past cheating allegations — sources suggest the couple now appear united as they build their future in Dubai.
Netflix Doubles Down on UAE Reality TV
With Dubai Bling, Netflix continues to invest in UAE-based reality content, blending luxury, controversy, and high-profile personalities. The addition of Amir Khan is expected to boost international interest, particularly among sports fans and global audiences familiar with his boxing career.
As production on the new season continues, viewers can expect private jets, lavish parties, and no shortage of confrontations — with the Khans firmly in the mix.
