Hamed to Make Return Bout Versus 'TBA' in Middle East
1/27 - Former WBO featherweight champ Naseem Hamed has come public that he would like to make a return to the ring after a 3-year hiatus. The 30-year old Hamed was last seen taking a decision win over Manuel Calvo in May of 2002.
"I've not said anything publicly until now but I plan to fight again in the summer," Hamed told the Sheffield Star. "We have not selected my opponent but the fight will take place in the Middle East and that is definite."
Hamed's comeback hit a wall with promoter Frank Warren. "Is he going to come back and beat fighters like Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera or Scott Harrison? The answer is no," said Warren. "It is that time of year again when he starts talking about a comeback but it has not happened yet."
