PRINCE NASEEM HAMED has a fight on his hands to prove he is the best boxer in the family – after son Aadam showed off his blistering hand speed.
Prince Naseem, now 46, held the WBO featherweight belt for five years and carved out a career as one of Britain’s best and most respected fighters.

But he retired at the early age of 28 to focus on his family.
And it seems to have paid dividends with the development of middle son Aadam.
The 20-year-old looked impressive on the speed bag in a video he posted on Instagram.
He seems to have some of his old man’s cockiness too, looking at the camera while managing to hit the bag perfectly.
It is not yet clear what weight he would fight at, but Aadam looks to possess the natural talent to fight full-time.
One viewer was impressed, tweeting: “If he is half as good as his father the lad will do just fine.”
Another said: “Interesting. Does he plan to box? Could be a star if he’s even half as talented as Prince Naseem.”
TalkSPORT report that Aadam is considering a future in boxing and could make his debut in the near future.
His progress comes despite dad Prince Naseem previously saying he did not want any of his three children to go into the ring.
He said in 2015: “Back in 2015, Naz previously said of his children: “My son, Aadam, I’ve told everybody, is going to win Wimbledon one day.
“My eldest, Sami, is 17. He’s going to be an actor, and my other son, Sulaiman, is the cutest.
“He’s the natural fighter. But I don’t want my kids to fight.
“Beyond the smile and humour, the flying carpets and all the razzmatazz, I wanted to knock someone out cold.
“If you ruffled those feathers, I really wanted to knock someone out. Why would I want a guy with that same intention standing opposite my son?”
