NASEEM HAMED claims he is ready to end a three-year exile from the ring by making a comeback this summer, writes HARRY TALBOT.

The former world featherweight champion has not fought since he laboured to a pedestrian win over Spanish journeyman Manuel Calvo at the London Arena in May 2002.

But Naz insists he will go into serious training after returning from a break in the Yemen.

He revealed: “I have not said anything publicly until now but I’m planning to fight again in the summer.

“We have not selected who my opponent is going to be just yet but the fight will take place in the Middle East — and that’s definite.

“I’m training in Sheffield and I’m looking forward to the future.”

Hamed, 30, suffered the only defeat of his 37-fight career when he lost on points to Marco Antonio Barrera in Las Vegas in 2001.

Yeah, but after Titos comeback, many are following, I hope he does too.

No ****...your right the comeback drumbs start beating every four to six months...

He will come back eventually, even if it is for a fight or two or three...he can still make some serious coin but he will never be the fighter that he was...actually I don't think he was ever the fighter that most thought he was.

That's great news, but i don't think he will be succesfull, people will not buy the boasting he did before, and i don't think naseem will have the confidence he had before, but nontheles great news, at wich weight will he come back featherweight or what?
