There were rumours that Chris Eubank had been in contact with Egyptian businessmen to co-promote Naz's comeback in the Middle East.
Now there are rumours that Naz will return to action in Sheffield next year on the undercard of Hatton-M'Baye.
Prince Naseem Hamed has hinted that he may make a comeback in early 2006. The 31 year-old, who was recently pictured in a national newspaper looking more like a heavyweight than the trim, fit and former WBO featherweight king, told the Sheffield Today: "I've been boxing since I was seven years of age. I simply needed a break.
"I've got two beautiful sons and a wife, and wanted to spend some time with them. Now, though, I've had my break. I miss boxing and I believe boxing misses me, too.
"In the New Year you could witness something special."
Naz also revealed that the heir to his throne Bilal Dibb will appear on the undercard of the Ricky Hatton vs Carlos Maussa world title card at the Hallam FM Arena in Sheffield on November 26.
Naz, who has a personal interest in the Australian super-featherweight talent, believes the 20 year-old will prove to be something very special. "This kid is the second coming of Naseem Hamed," said an excited Naz.
"He's an awesome fighter. He's been watching lots of my videos, and has a tremendous amount of style, charisma and flair. I urge everyone to watch this kid because I have no doubts he can go all the way."

Boxrec- Souleymane M'baye
The guy isn't exactly a complete stiff, but a loss to Vivian Harris tells me all i need to know about him.
I think Hatton is going to be compelled to face him, as a quick mandatory after gaining a belt is often the done thing. Would also act as a good warm up for Cotto/Mayweather.
The IBF mandatory is Naoufel Ben Rabah (i think) who would be far easier pickings.
at least ben rabah has fought alot of 12 rders,still neither have
made any waves, hatton shouldrematch tsyzu, then go for floyd who
in the meantime will beat mitchell, then cotto, i can dream :mad:
ok what is m'bayes full name, id like to check him out on boxrec.
and a question, how often do champs fight thier mandatories

if hatton didnt punch himself out in the tszyu fight, i REALLY dont think he'll punch himself out against some1 as limited as maussa.

He has to fight M'baye in order to keep the belts. Hatton needs the belts to entice Mayweather to fight.
The Hatton-Mayweather fight will be made, i am confident of that, but Hatton needs to fight this mandatory.

lol its like calzaghe after he beat eubank.
they line up bum after bum in the hope of keeping them titles.

M'Baye will be Hatton's mandatory if Hatton beats Maussa. M'Baye is a Frank Warren fighter.

first of all whos m'baye and what makes you think hatton is fighting him.
naz is NOT coming back, hes a frightened pussy whos scared he may lose.
but hes ego's to big for him to fight the lower tier of opposition.
every few months a nas comeback thread appears,
yet theres nothing to back it up

Pac is mostly a myth created by his cult following on this board. I wud love for hamed to come back and KO pac......only a fool wud count hamed out of this fight.
If the prince came back wud be huge - the excitement in this country alone wud be worth it.
pac would whip him badly...
as for him being a myth, he beat barrera easily, managed to go
12rds and get a draw against the very slick juan manuel marquez,
lost a close decision to eric morales and koed all them other bums.
nas lost against barrera and basically quit soon after.
pac has heart, power and speed and only loses out to nas on technical skill
And get knock the fuck out...

Heartless fraud...leaves the game after one loss.
even if he comes back, he will never be the same.
Stupid fool.
Why do you just repeat what everyone says. You know that you are wrong dont you....
Remember that the last thing to leave a fighter is his punch..
Naz would have a punchers chance against anybody, imagine if he came back and worked his way up to fighting Mayweather and knocked him out :eek: or fighting Hatton, or fighting Khan! or knocking out Barrera!
Maybe I'm getting carried away :)
(also look at Hopkins, he's 10 years older than Naz and still fighting for titles)
