Boxing manager Asif Vali has been slammed with an 11-year jail sentence after a jury convicted him of historic sex offences. The 56-year-old, once the man behind Olympic star Amir Khan, faces tough time behind bars for crimes committed over a decade ago.
Jury Convicts Vali After Three-Day Trial
Vali was found guilty at Bolton Crown Court on Thursday, February 26, following a short but damning trial. The charges relate to shocking incidents against a woman in Bolton in 2013. He was convicted of two counts of exposure, two counts of sexual assault, and assault by penetration. Despite denying all allegations, the jury was unconvinced and delivered a guilty verdict.
Grim Court Revelations Shake Boxing World
- Vali repeatedly performed sexual acts on himself in front of the victim.
- The worst attack in February 2013 saw the woman throw coffee on him to escape his grasp.
- These crimes took place while Vali was managing Amir Khan’s glittering boxing career.
The sentence marks a stunning fall from grace for Vali, who once controlled one of Britain’s brightest sporting stars. Police have now released his mugshot as a warning and reminder of his disgrace.
