“Prince” Naseem Hamed is one of the great boxing innovators. His actions outside the ring gained him fans. His entrances to the ring were never less than spectacular. One of the more famous entrances, the one that really got him noticed was the magic carpet. “Prince” Naseem was taken from the top of the arena to the outside of the ring where he was to fight Vuyani Bungu.

Naseem’s fighting style was unique. He was arrogant to the fighters he went up against, laughing at their effort, shrugging off punches and smiling at the fact they would even want to get in the ring with him. His fighting style may have offended the opponents and his fan count drop but that didn’t stop him from becoming WBO, WBC, IBF and IBO featherweight champion, all of which were vacated.

Outside the ring, Naseem Hamed liked to spend his hard earned money on fast cars. He was involved in many crashes in these million dollar cars. One of which landed him on the front of British newspaper ‘The Sun’. In the crash the other driver was seriously injured. This incident was the end for ‘Prince’ Naseem as a boxer.
