Hamed to return in 2005!
By Craig Watt
Former WBO and IBF Featherweight Champion Prince Naseem Hamed has told BBC Sport that he will make a return to the ring in early 2005. Commenting on the success of British Olympian Amir Khan at the Athens games he confirmed, "I am still fresh and still got the hunger to come back and do what I want to do. So in early 2005 you will see me back in a ring." Hamed is now 30 years of age and there has been much speculation as to whether he would return to the ring following his last fight back in May 2002 when he defeated Spaniard Manuel Calvo on points in London. The Prince was certainly one of the top UK fighters in the last decade and he has just one defeat against Marco Antonio Barrera in April 2001 in his impressive record of 36-1 (31 kos). Hamed's intended return will draw much attention in the 126 pound division both sides of the Atlantic.
