00:00Kevin Calley shouldn't have said those words to him, because in the 90s, this guy didn't
00:09just put on spectacular fights, he made sure every appearance in the ring was unforgettable.
00:13Now of course, he looks like this.
00:15Yes, don't be alarmed, it's the same person.
00:16His name is Prince Nassim.
00:18Born in Sheffield, England to Yemeni parents, Nassim Hamed was a boxing prodigy with an
00:22unorthodox style and devastating punching power.
00:25Trained by Brendan Ingle, he developed a unique blend of head movement, flashy footwork and
00:29knockout ability.
00:30By the mid-90s, he was an undefeated world champion and a global star.
00:34His confidence bordered on arrogance, and he loved putting on a show, entering arenas
00:39in extravagant fashion, once even arriving on a flying carpet.
00:42Kevin Calley, on the other hand, was a seasoned American fighter known as the Flushing Flash.
00:47A former featherweight champion, he was one of the hardest hitters in the division.
00:50Unlike many of Hamed's previous opponents, Calley had both power and skill, making him
00:55a dangerous challenge.
00:57Before the fight, he openly dismissed Hamed's antics, calling him a hyped-up showman who
01:01had never faced real adversity in the ring.
01:03The bout was Nassim's US debut, taking place at Madison Square Garden in 1997.
01:08It was more than just a fight, it was a test to prove whether his dominance in the UK could
01:12translate to the global stage.
01:13The stakes were massive, and the tension in the air was electric.
01:16Things escalated quickly.
01:18In the first round, Calley knocked Prince Nassim down, shocking the crowd.
01:21Hamed had never been in a war like this before.
01:24His granite chin often saved him, but he was just as capable of being knocked down
01:28as he was of delivering a knockout.
01:29The fight became an all-out war, with both men hitting the canvas multiple times.
01:33By the third round, it was Calley who found himself on the canvas.
01:36Nassim's ability to recover and adjust mid-fight was on full display, as he turned the tide
01:41with unpredictable footwork and unorthodox angles.
01:44His knockout power was undeniable.
01:45One clean shot could end the fight at any moment.
01:48Some saw him as a clown, claiming he only beat hands or strong but aging fighters.
01:52However, this fight disproves those accusations.
01:55Calley was a serious contender with an impressive record.
01:58Yet Nassim, even past his prime, managed, albeit with some struggle, to take him down.
