OLYMPIC boxing hero Amir Khan was caught out by one on the cheek . . . from Bolton's First Citizen.

Cllr Prentice Howarth, the Mayor of Bolton, gave the 17-year-old Heaton boxing sensation a kiss before a civic reception in his honour at the weekend.

Residents lined the streets to cheer the silver medallist on an open top bus parade into the town centre where thousands more fans were waiting.

The teenager thanked the cheering crowds for their support and vowed to win a gold medal at the next Olympics at Beijing in 2008.
