Prince Naseem Hamed's son, Aadam Hamed, is energetic and full of charm, just like his father. It is something even Conor McGregor acknowledged and applauded.

On Saturday, the 23-year-old defeated Vojtech Hrdy within seconds of the first round after Hrdy's corner threw in the towel. The fight took place in the undercard of the Usyk vs. Dubois event.

Prince Naseem Hamed created a lot of buzz during the 1990s and held multiple featherweight world titles, including the WBO belt. He was a household name in his prime and holds deep respect in the hearts of combat sports aficionados.

He inspired a host of fighters, including Conor McGregor. 'The Notorious' expressed his well wishes to the Hameds in an X post, particularly praising Aadam Hamed:

"I am going to show this to my son Conor Jr, and tell him that this is the son of the man who inspired me to become I who I became, and now he is leading the way of his fathers legacy! God bless the Hamed’s! Well done Aadam!"
