PRINCE Naseem Hamed was presented with a long overdue Ring Magazine belt - but was roundly booed at Leeds’ First Direct Arena.

And it was all because the former featherweight world champ hails from Sheffield - the same City as Josh Warrington’s rival Kid Galahad.

Hamed is ringside to watch Warrington defend his IBF world title against Galahad at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.

The Ring Magazine belt is awarded to “the best of the best” and few would argue that in his Prime, Naz was just that.

But the vociferous Leeds crowd weren’t ready to clap one of boxing’s great heroes, and also called him a “fat b*****” as he took to the ring.

The 45-year-old took the mic and spoke of how he excited he was for the Warrington vs Galahad main event.

And despite even giving Leeds hero Warrington the edge when speaking earlier in the week, Naz was booed before exiting the ring.
