Former WBO Featherweight Champion, “Prince” Naseem Hamed is contemplating a return to boxing in the near future, according to Sky Sports boxing show Ringside.
Sky Sports reporter Ed Robinson fuelled speculation last night when he mentioned it on his news round-up segment for the Thursday night televised boxing magazine.
Hamed, 36, has not fought since 2002, when he beat Manuel Calvo and has ruled out a ring return as a fighter on many occasions, so this seems like the most logical step for the southpaw knockout specialist to take.
With other young boxers like Ricky Hatton and David Haye having their own promotions companies, don’t rule out a similar move by Naz, who did promote some of his own fights in the past under the name “Prince Promotions.”
Hamed would be welcomed back to the sport with open arms after some troublesome years away from the ring and boxing would have one of its real characters back.
