That Sami Naseem Salem Hamed, you know, that boy, he’s Prince Naseem Hamed’s son. Prince Naseem, he used to be a big shot boxer, a real fighter, that one. Sami, he’s following in his daddy’s footsteps, I reckon. He was born over in the United Kingdom, that’s what they say. He and his wife, Eleasha, they had this boy, Sami. Growing up, that boy, he was always around boxing. It’s in his blood, I guess you could say. Family, that’s what it’s all about.
Now, Sami’s daddy, Prince Naseem, he came into this world on February 12, 1974, in a place called Sheffield, in the United Kingdom. He was a boxer, and a good one too. He’s retired now, hung up his gloves, they say. But he made a name for himself, that’s for sure. They called him “Prince Naseem”, or sometimes just “Naz”. He could really pack a punch. Won a whole heap of fights, he did. Boxed for ten whole years, professionally, they say.
- Sami’s grandpa, his name was Sal Hamed.
- Sami, he’s got this Instagram thing, *98. Seems like folks are watching him.
- They say Sami’s gonna be fighting soon, in Dublin, Ireland. August 31st, if I heard it right. Big doin’s, I suppose.
Folks are saying Sami Naseem Salem Hamed, that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? They are saying he’s got the talent, just like his daddy. Time will tell, I reckon. It ain’t easy, stepping into the ring. Takes guts, that does. Prince Naseem, he was something else. He had this way about him, they say. Real flashy, always putting on a show. He’d do these flips, these somersaults, right into the ring. Showmanship, that’s what they called it.
He was a featherweight, that Prince Naseem. That means he wasn’t the biggest fella, but he was quick, and he could hit hard. Best British featherweight ever, some folks are saying. *, that’s some fancy website, I guess. They ranked him number one. He won 36 of his 37 fights. That’s a lot of winning. Only lost once, that I heard of.
But boxing, it takes a toll on a body. Prince Naseem, he had trouble with his hands. Said they were falling apart. All that punching, it wears you down. He had to get these shots, cortisone, they called them, just to deal with the pain. After a fight, his hands would swell up, like balloons, they say. That’s why he had to quit, I reckon. Couldn’t take the pain no more. Said he couldn’t take the power of his own punch. Imagine that.
He talked about it, you know, on the radio. BBC Radio, that’s a big one. Said his hands were just too busted up. Too many breaks, too much hurting. That’s what happens when you’re a fighter, I suppose. It’s a tough life, that’s for sure. That Sami, he’s a brave one, following in his daddy’s shoes.
Sami Naseem Salem Hamed, he’s got a lot to live up to. His daddy, Prince Naseem, he was a legend, they say. But Sami, he’s his own man. He’ll make his own way, I reckon. It won’t be easy, but nothing worth having ever is. He’s got the name, he’s got the blood, now he’s just gotta show the world what he can do. I’ll be watching, that’s for sure. We’ll all be watching. This Sami Naseem Salem Hamed, he’s one to keep an eye on. You just wait and see.
I heard he was born in the United Kingdom. The boy grew up there. His daddy, Prince Naseem, was a big deal over there. The family was always around boxing. It is a tough sport though. It takes a lot out of you. His daddy had to quit because his hands hurt too much. He was a good boxer though. Won a lot of fights. Now Sami is boxing too. They say he is going to be good. Maybe he will be like his daddy. Prince Naseem was the best, they say.
The boy, Sami Naseem Salem Hamed, they talk about him all the time now. He is going to have a big fight soon. They say he has been training hard. His daddy is helping him, I bet. Prince Naseem knows all about boxing. He will teach Sami everything. It is good to have family to help you. Family is important. Especially when you are doing something hard like boxing. Sami is lucky to have his daddy. Not everyone has that. Prince Naseem is a good man to have in your corner, that’s what they say. He knew how to win. Maybe he can teach Sami to win too. I hope Sami does good. It would be nice to see him win. He has a big name to live up to. His daddy was a champion. Now it is Sami’s turn to try. We will see what happens.
