In what way, is the knight in the wife of Bath's tales an antihero
I'm not sure I would consider him an anti-hero. He is actually kind of repulsive. He is ruled by his desires. He rapes a girl and thinks little of it. An Anti-hero suggests that he has redeeming traits in his personality and that he rises to the occasion when needed. The Knight does accept his wife's criticism of him but this too seems forced and not very sincere.
