Who is Sami Hamed? Is he related to Prince Naseem? All about the Misfits boxer's family, parents, siblings, and more

Sami Hamed is a British boxer who is set to make his pugilistic debut on the Misftits Boxing 17 card on Aug.31 in Dublin, Ireland. Interestingly, boxing is already engrained in his DNA. Why you ask? He is the oldest son of pugilistic legend Naseem Hamed, better known as 'Prince' Naseem who took the sport by storm in the late 90s.

'Prince' Naseem is a former world featherweight champion having held all four major titles at various points during his career. The Englishman known for his flamboyant style, unparalleled footwork, head movement, and speed holds an enviable record of 36-1 with 31 knockouts to his name.

Many consider him one of the greatest featherweight boxers of all time. Now, with two of his sons taking up the sport, it looks like the family name will once again echo across boxing arenas in the years to come.

Who is Sami Hamed? Is he related to Prince Naseem?

Interestingly, the 26-year-old is not alone in his pugilistic journey. His younger brother Aadam has also decided to take up the boxing route.

However, unlike his brother who has signed with Misfits which primarily hosts celebrity boxing bouts, Aadam (2-0) has taken a more traditional approach. He has signed with promoter Frank Warren.

While 'Prince' Nassem is believed to have raked up a net worth of over $40 million during his career, his sons were encouraged to make their own living. Hence before taking up boxing, Sami used to work in retail and before that in an ice cream parlour.

Boxing was never even in his plans growing up. During his teenage years, Sami wanted to make it big in Hollywood, a dream he still holds close to his heart. During an interview with The Sun, he said:

"I still feel like I've got the potential to do that. I could do a couple of years in boxing and even if I carry on fighting, but maybe go to Hollywood and chase my dream in that sense."

Now, with his exhibition boxing debut against Jesse Clarke drawing near, Sami is more excited than ever to prove himself :

" I want to show my dad that, listen. I can have a good fight as well and pack that dig. I just want to make my parents proud."
