Amir Khan’s Former Manager Asif Vali Jailed 11 Years for Sex Offences

The judge said Vali showed no remorse toward a victim who felt unable to report him because of his standing in Bolton.

Overview

  • Vali, 56, was sentenced at Bolton Crown Court on February 26 after a jury convicted him on December 18 of two counts of exposure, two counts of sexual assault and one count of assault by penetration.
  • Prosecutors said his behavior began with inappropriate texts in 2012 and escalated to exposure, unwanted touching and a 2013 assault in Bolton.
  • The court heard the victim delayed reporting due to fear of Vali’s status as Amir Khan’s manager and his influence in the community.
  • In a statement read in court, the victim described enduring shame and said, “Asif Vali ruined my life and my potential for a long time.”
  • He must serve two‑thirds of the 11‑year term in prison and is subject to an indefinite sexual harm prevention order and notification requirements.
