"Prince" Naseem Hamed Interview (1994, The Word)

Terry Christian:

"Isn't prince an effeminite name for a Boxer" - "Actually it's ok when I was a kid our next door neighbours had a boxer called Prince!" (Classic Terry !)

Naseem Hamed (nicknamed Prince Naseem or just Naz) was on The Word back in 1994 at the height of his career, and he boasted about being the best boxer out there. He swaggered onto the show in true boxing style and sat next to (Bizarrely) US chat show queen Ricki Lake! a girl in the crowd threw her bra over to him which Terry then sniffed and put in his pocket for later. Naz seemed quite uncomfortable with the Bra and said his mother wouldn't approve!

He has since retired. And has been in prison for a short time after a car accident, and was also given a four year driving ban, he was released from prison but had to wear an electronic tag for a short time. He can often be seen ringside supporting Amir Khan and has put on a considerable amount of weight since 1994, but so have I so I cant really say anything!
