Answer
Hi Syed,

Thanks for writing.
Prince Naseem Hamed, the former world featherweight champion, has not fought in about 2 years....and has only fought once since losing to Marco Antonio Barrera.

The most recent information I've heard is that he has not been training nor has he expressed an interest in returning to the ring. He has not officially retired, but there are no fights, or plans to fight, on the horizon for Hamed right now. Of course, since he is a fighter, he could change his mind (see Felix Trinidad).

I hope this is helpful, Syed.
Thanks again for writing!

Regards,
Lian
