The two-times world champ married Faryal Makhdoom, 20, last month in a series of Muslim ceremonies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking about his big day for the first time, beaming Amir told the Daily Star it was more exhausting than any of his fights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He added:<\/strong> \u201cI thought fighting was hard! We had the main wedding in New York and then came back to Manchester for more celebrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn total it lasted about two weeks with about eight different events. It was so tiring.<\/p>\n

The 2004 Olympic silver medalist will now make the most of his time off before preparing for his next fight in December.<\/p>\n

Although the couple are keen for a big family, Amir said kids would have to wait until he has achieved his dream of becoming world champion again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amir\u2019s next fight was predicted to be in December against American world champion Devon Alexander, 26, with Dubai expected to host the battle.<\/p>\n

However, Alexander\u2019s trainer Kevin Cunningham recently hinted the IBF welterweight title clash would not go ahead.<\/p>\n

But Amir yesterday accused the American of running scared, saying:<\/strong> \u201cIt seems to me that Alexander is pulling away from the fight. You could say he\u2019s running scared.<\/p>\n
