Jordan Henderson gets "tips" from Amir Khan after getting into a "few tiffs"

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has revealed that he received a few boxing "tips" from Amir Khan during a recent promotional event.

The two sportsmen teamed up this week to work with Maxi Nutrition and gave one another a brief lesson in their respective fields.

Henderson joked on Instagram that he needed Khan's help after getting involved in a "few tiffs" on the pitch lately.

The England international could be referring to his tense encounter with Chelsea striker Diego Costa during last month's Capital One Cup semi-final.

He wrote: "Really good to meet @amirkingkhan today. Great man and was good to get on the pads with him. Need a few tips after getting myself in a few tiffs!"
