'Amir Khan and his boxer brother Haroon have fought off an armed gang who tried to steal his £100,000 Range Rover.
The pair of pugilists had returned to the car after a night out in Birmingham when six men ambushed them.
The Sun reports that the gang used another 4x4 to block the Khans' path, while another brandished a cosh.
The brothers fought them off and escaped with just cuts and bruises, although the Range Rover's back window was smashed.
An eyewitness told The Sun: "These guys tried to jump Amir and his brother but they picked on the wrong blokes.
"They parked their car in front of the Range Rover. At least one had a cosh. One slapped Amir and clipped him on the lip but Amir pulled back and knocked him out cold.
"Then five of them went for Amir and Haroon — but they stood their ground and these guys got dropped one by one."'

“...while another brandished a cosh.”
?????
You can take my cosh from my cold dead hands...
GASP!.. I sure hope there were no women or children around.. 8)
***Note to gang***
NEVER pick a fight with a small skinny guy!
According to a website I read a “cosh” is a weighted object similar to a blackjack.
A leather bag or club, full of lead shot.
Sock full of nickels works, too.
100K UKP?? Is that the 007 model?
How do you get your shoe on?
Er, sock full o’ ha’pennies, guv.
Yeah, they look harmless
Surprise!!
This was one of the few times when the question “Do you know who I am?” is quite appropriate!!
A hyperbolic cosine?
When the two small skinny guys advance on you and your five friends, give it some careful thought.
I would have paid to see this. reminds me of the time that two morons in Brooklyn tried to mug Mike Tyson’s girlfriend and infant in front of a hotel at 0500 hours. When he exited the building and caught onto the action, he allegedly put one into a coma and the other completed a marathon in record time. Would have paid to see that one too.
