A British boxer, Amir Khan, a former world champ, apologized for a social media post where he posted a Snapchat photo sitting next to transgender Caitlyn Jenner and labeling the photo "Bruce Jenner."  

Bruce Jenner is the former name of Caitlyn Jenner, when she was a man and a 1976 Olympic gold medal-winning men's decathlete.

Khan apologized for the optics of labeling the woman by her former male name, when he was an athlete.

The event was an athletics awards show, and Khan also posted a video on Instagram of him high-fiving Jenner with a tag of her Instagram handle @caitlynjenner.
