I watched the Eubank - Calzaghe fight the other day for the first time, and noticed that Naz (who was ring-side) and Eubank seemed to be shouting stuff to eachother as the fight was on-going. The commentator also mentioned this.

Then i was reading Clazaghe's book last night, and he mentions witnessing a scuffle between Naz and Eubank at the airport some time later.

Does anyone know of any other incidents between these 2, or why there was a fued in the first place.

Cheers.

something to do with nas hamed bragging at how he was a world champion and eubank wasn't, eubank lost the plot and tryed to slap nas, but nas slipped the slap and slapped eubank.

naz is comedy

At the airport on the way to a WBO belt collection, Naz said 'Look at my belts' to Eubank, who knocked them out of his hand, and tried to slap him. Naz punched him in the nose.

You can also hear Calzaghe calling Robin Reid an english cunt in that fight (he was ringside for Sky).
Best Nas - Eubank confrontation was on the press conference of the 1998 Carl Thomson fight.

well legend has it Naz kept winding Eubank up at the airport saying: look how many belts i have Chris !(at the time Naz held all 4 featherweight world titles i believe)
So eubank smacked him up the ear hole like a little lad lol
with that naz was supposed to have threw a punch that bounced off of the side of Eubanks head !
Those were the days lol

I don't think he ever had all 4 but he definatley had 3 of the major belts.

"Had Vazquez not been (deliberately) stripped by the WBA of his belt (they did not want their featherweight title unified with the WBO) Hamed would have the distinction of being the first boxer to hold all four world titles in a division. This is an overlooked accomplishment of Prince Naseem. The WBA would not grant him a subsequent shot at their championship.

As with the IBF belt two years previous, Naseem had to relinquish his WBC world belt due to his commitment to being WBO champion. After this, Naseem vowed to put boxing politics behind him."

By the way was Hamed ever given the Featherweight Ring belt?
You would have thought since he was undefeated and the WBC, IBF, WBO and since he beat the guy who was the WBA champ before he was stripped of it just because they didn't want to unify with the WBO that he would get the Ring belt too.

Taken from Wikipedia. yeah i thought he had most of them at that time!? cause i remember reading in the paper when the Eubank fracar happened that Hamed was pushing an airport trolly along with all his belts on top of his suitcases,and when Eubank smacked him up the ear Eubank threw all of Hameds belts up the floor !
To wich then Hamed was supposed to have bounced a punch off of Eubanks head lol
But not long after Naz and Eubank made up and gave the go ahead to make a tv add to help promote milk for Kidds!

:rofl::rofl::rofl: @ that video!

I honestly think it was jealousy on Banks part. Since he beat Benn up until Naz’ emergence, he was the media darling and you know how much he loved the attention good (beating Benn, Rocchigiani) or bad (Watson robbery). Now there was a new kid on the block stealing the headlines and Bank now without a belt hated it. I think the whole ring jump theft, making fun of his spar beatings against Graham etc was just the icing on the cake…

By the way was Hamed ever given the Featherweight Ring belt?The championship system wasn't created until 2002, but by beating Wilfredo Vazquez in 98, that gave him lineal status which is more or less the same..

the real reason for the feud between naz and eubanks was because eubanks molested naz when he was a child!

Oh rights, cheers for that :D

Brendan Ingle mentioning Eubank's time as a sparring partner was bang out of order. He said fair play to him for nicking Naz's jump over ropes (Naz then upgraded pinching the flip off Ryan Rhodes), but really he was a bit bitter sod who didn;t like Eubank getting rich off it. He was bitter about Naz taking lion's share too and the split was mainly about him crying over money, and going around accusing his fighter of not giving him enough! He got 16% when his managerial duties had been passed on to Warren. Read The Paddy and The Prince and you will see it was all up to the greedy paddy.
