You'll want to hear the ranting.Then, they talk Guido Vianello's upset of Arslanbek Makhmudov by 8th round TKO in the co-feature, as Makhmudov suffered a gruesomely swollen left eye early in the fight and Vianello pounded him into the doctor and ref calling a halt to the bout.

Paul Griffin was training under Brendan Ingle, alongside world featherweight champ Prince Naseem Hamed, promoted by Frank Warren and about to put his unbeaten record on the line. Then the Dean Pithie fight happened and suddenly it seemed like the prince of Dublin boxing was set for the scrapheap. No longer needed by the fight bosses, and with the lure of the party life back home proving too strong, he took off to Australia to get away from it all. There, he had ten fights - along with a few too many bouts of inactivity - and here, Paul fills in the blanks on some of those forgotten years, while talking about his inspirational recovery to get to where he is today - coaching the next generation of talented young Dubs.

This week I'm on a mission with Sky Sports pundit and long-reigning WBO cruiserweight champion, Johnny Nelson in this incredibly emotional interview.  Johnny had a disastrous beginning to life in the pros and took some hard lessons as he tells us how being publicly shamed after a world title fight left him in an extremely dark place.  In this raw and extremely honest interview, we get to hear firsthand how Johnny clawed his way to success against all the odds with the support of his legendary coach Brendan Ingle whole also trained “Prince" Naseem Hamed, Junior Witter, and Kell Brook. It's an emotional, engaging and inspiring interview, with so much wisdom shared.  KEY TAKEAWAYS At first, Johnny didn't even want to box. He joined the gym for friends, but it was here he met his lifelong mentor Brendan Ingle at age 14 and he changed the trajectory of his life forever Johnny's gym in Wincobank Sheffield was often the subject of mockery but that one small gym produced 16 British champions with its often unorthodox and unusual methods. Johnny was told often that he didn't have the confidence to match his boxing ability, even after he was consistently winning. At the height of his career, Johnny began receiving a lot of negative attention and abuse, this led him to the lowest point in his life, where he even contemplated suicide. Naysayers are everywhere and can be people close to you. But they don't see or understand what you do, you can't surround yourself with people like this, you must listen to yourself and pursue your dreams, anything is achievable with the correct mindset. It took Johnny years to gain the confidence in himself that he has now, he had to train his mind and learn to listen to his own voice, his gut, to believe in himself. You either learn from the difficult times in your life or you will be broken by them. Your actions have to be aligned with your goals in order to achieve them. You have to create your own methods that work for you. One act of discipline can set you and your mindset for the rest of your life. Once you get used to exercising your mind with willpower once, you can continue to do this forever. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you do well once people say it's luck but if you keep repeating that you are doing something right' ‘If I was a stronger man I would have seriously considered taking my own life' ‘As long as I believed I was the best then I performed the best' ‘Naysayers can come in all shapes and sizes' ‘the lesson I learnt was mental strength' ‘Everyone needs one discipline in their life' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission   Johnny Nelson - https://johnnynelsonfoundation.org Johnny Nelson Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnnynelsonsky/?hl=en  ABOUT THE HOST Not so long ago, life was barely recognisable for Ellie McKay, raising three children under five, battling post-natal depression, facing redundancy and walking into the job centre to claim benefits with a double pram, no confidence, and wracked with insecurities. Fast forward to today, and life looks very different. Ellie committed to turning her life around for herself and her family. Following this commitment, she got to work and has now built multiple successful companies, as well as having created a multimillion-pound property portfolio from a standing start.

He held multiple featherweight world championships, including the WBO title from 1995 to 2000; the IBF title in 1997; and the WBC title from 1999 to 2000. He also reigned as lineal champion from 1998 to 2001; IBO champion from 2002 to 2003; and held the European bantamweight title from 1994 to 1995. Hamed is ranked the best British featherweight of all time by BoxRec. In 2015, he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Hamed was known for his unconventional boxing antics and spectacular ring entrances which included entering the ring on a flying carpet, a lift, and a palanquin, as well as re-enacting the video of Michael Jackson's Thriller, and wearing a Halloween mask. He was also known for his front somersault over the top rope into the ring, his highly athletic and hard-hitting southpaw boxing style, and formidable one-punch knockout power; having finished his career with a knockout-to-win ratio of 84%. With his cocky persona and high-profile bouts he was a prominent figure in 1990s British pop culture, while Sean Ingle in The Guardian writes, “in his prime, Hamed was a global superstar“. A headliner on both sides of the Atlantic, Dan Rafael of ESPN writes, “one of the biggest stars in the sport, the guy sold out arenas before his opponent was even named.” Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naseem_Hamed --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tk0442/support

Steve Robinson has one of the great stories in British boxing as a bonafide Cinderella Man.   The former WBO featherweight champion was seemingly going nowhere, losing close fights, losing on the road and condemned to the 'also-ran' pile before his life changed with a phone call. Having lost a bout in France, he was called at two day's notice to fight for a world title. He took the shot and won, and then proved he belonged with a string of impressive title defences against the likes of Colin McMillan, Paul Hodkinson and Duke McKenzie. However, he was scalped after seven defences by a brilliant upstart named Prince Naseem Hamed and while he still had a European title win in him he was back to fighting on the road and losing tight decisions away from him. Now, still super-fit, Robinson looks back on his career with pride and discusses whether he gets the credit he is due and whether he was ultimately satisfied when he left the ring behind for the final time.

The Classic Game Club meets Fight Club on this week’s edition of Off The Brawl as Andy Lee joins Ronan Mullen & Phil Egan to review Prince Naseem Hamed’s back-and-forth battle with Kevin Kelley.

Naseem Hamed vs. Kevin Kelley was a professional boxing match contested on December 19, 1997 for the WBO featherweight championship.

We’ll take a look at the upcoming Light Heavyweight title fight between Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev on November 2nd. Also, Ring Magazine published a hypothetical fight between the PAC Man Manny Pacquiao and Naz himself, Prince Naseem Hamed. Since fantasy fights are kind of our thing, we’ll take a deep dive and offer some thoughts on what would have been an all time great fight at featherweight.

Former world super-bantamweight champion Bones Adams is now one of the go-to trainers in Las Vegas. But life has been challenging for him. Born into poverty in Kentucky, he soon found himself tied up with gang life in Detroit. His godfather, the infamous Johnny Ace, was shot and murdered. Bones started fighting. It was something that came naturally to him and it led him to big fights with the likes of Paulie Ayala, Nestor Gaza, Guty Espades and Kevin Kelley. While he rated Prince Naseem Hamed, he craved the Erik Morales fight and it was there for him until he lost his hotly-disputed first bout with Ayala. That sucked the life from him and he was never the same again. He struggled in retirement, went off the rails, went to jail and he nearly suffered similar fates to his late friends, Johnny Tapia and Diego Corrales, Adams is a complex person, always has been, always will be.

Mirror, mirror on the wall - who is the flashiest boxer of them all? *Hint* It is not Carl Froch! Naseem Hamed took the world by storm when he burst on the scene in the early 90s. Known for his incredible reflexes and knockout power - Prince Naseem Hamed could arguably be one of the best boxers ever produced in Britain. From fighting in leisure centres to being the top-grossing British fighter, Prince Naseem captured the attention of boxing fans all over the world. However, did he let himself down by relying on his talent? His post-boxing career has also been fraught with controversy - including a jail sentence. The lads discuss the ins, the outs and everything in-between of Prince Naseem.    Help make Boxing Unwrapped the People's Champ by voting for us in the British Podcast Awards! https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/vote

Learn about your host Casey Callanan and our mission in this first ever episode of the Characters of Boxing (and Beyond) Podcast. We're here to preserve the history of boxing and its larger than life characters. Each episode celebrates a unique (and often times obscure) character from yesteryear to keep their legacies alive. Before we launch our first real episodes, and learn about some characters, we want to tell you a little bit about what to expect from this introductory podcast episode. The true entertainment value in boxing goes beyond what happens in the ring. Individuals in this sport that go above and beyond just being a great in-ring performer is what we love most about boxing. While there is something great about those that shut their mouth, go into a match and dominate; it's the colorful characters of boxing (i.e., Vinny Pazienza, Prince Naseem Hamed, etc.) that makes the Sweet Science our favorite thing in life! On this podcast we will run the gamut. You'll hear about superstar heavyweight champions like Lennox Lewis, but then we'll dive into some characters that we're sure you've never heard of, like "Piano Mover" Jones. Best of all? We're going BEYOND boxers to talk about people like Butch Lewis and legendary venues (with character) like the Las Vegas Showboat Casino. Enjoy! Let's keep these memories alive. 

On this week's episode, Dev Sahni is joined by Steve Lillis who caught up with Carl Frampton on what his plans are for 2019.

Twenty years ago, an undefeated, power-punching British featherweight of Yemeni descent named “Prince” Naseem Hamed brought his show to America for the first time when he faced his toughest professional test, New Yorker Kevin Kelley, a.k.a. “The Flushing Flash,” at Madison Square Garden. The hype was off the charts. And the fight exceeded all hype. In a special edition of the HBO Boxing Podcast, Eric Raskin speaks to numerous insiders who were connected to Hamed or Kelley or were inside the Garden that night and lets them tell the story of one of the wildest fights of the era, a brawl that shook up the way smaller fighters were perceived and the pay scale they were working under.

GREATEST PERFORMANCES #61: PRINCE NASEEM HAMED
