what the heck ever happened to boxer prince naseem hamed?

heard something about the possibility of his being jailed (for reckless driving?) back in january but don't know what happened with it.

and has he even had a fight since 2002 or so?

painfully obvious i'm not the most avid boxing fan, but for some reason, i've been thinking about this guy lately.

    it's speculated that his loss to barrera killed his confidence, and took it's toll on his fighting. he's only had 1 fight after that loss, and although he won, it was a very weak points win.

    even if the rumors of his comeback are true, he wouldn't be the same fighter we use to enjoy.

    Prince Naseem's fall from grace

    "You're the scum of the earth," said Prince Naseem Hamed via the intercom on the gates of his £3 million Sheffield mansion.

    "Why are you hassling us? I don’t want to give you any interview. I have a beautiful family, who I am with just now.

    "Thank God I am out [of prison] and spending time with them. I don’t need people like you hassling us. All you do is print lies and bull****."

    HE WAS RELASED FROM JAIL ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, (ACCORDING TO FIGHTNEWS.COM) HE HAD AN OFFER OF 6 FIGHTS (BY HBO) BUT I BELIEVE HE DIDNOT ACCEPT THE OFFER BECAUSE ACCORDING TO HIM ALA DIDNT WANT HIM TO FIGHT AFTER THE EMBARRASSING LOST TO BARRERA (I SAW THIS IN A BRITISH INTERVIEW)
