AMIR Khan has not told his lawyers to take legal action against Facebook.
It was claimed yesterday the Bolton boxer and his promoter Frank Warren had instructed solicitors to contact Facebook over “racist comments” on the site. But Amir’s manager Asif Vali and his lawyer Robert Davies both told The Bolton News the reports were wrong.
Amir’s solicitor Mr Davies said: “It was wrong reported. Mr Khan has not appointed solicitors to take legal action against Facebook, nor does he have any intention of doing so. We will be seeking rectification in relation to any previous articles.”
But Mr Warren’s legal team did make a ailment against the website over material relating to the promoter.
Specialist media lawyer Stephen Taylor-Heath said he had contacted Facebook on behalf of Mr Warren but said violative material about Amir had been removed from the website.
He said: “Amir Khan was caught up in the matter because there was material on the website that was very unpleasant but the complaint was made on behalf of Frank Warren.”
Facebook said in a argument that there was no place for derogatory substance on its site and that any offensive material would be removed.
