Meeting the Prince

One of the perks being in a big city such as Manchester is that there's a chance to run into someone famous. But did not expect to run into the Prince at all....

No, no, not the artist formerly known as "The artist formerly known as Prince".

It's Prince Naseem Hamed. Known for his arrogance, he was a very successful former featherweight boxing champion of Britain.

Here's a picture of him during his hey days.




Funny story actually. Bung actually saw someone taking a picture with him and shouted "eh, prince naseem jua tu!!" Immediately looked at him but did not believe it was him. Actually thought to myself "eh, inda jua ada usulnya former boxer". Macam ada jua usulnya yang jalan2 di rusholme atu....heheh.

Anyway, Bung asked me to ask him whether we can take a picture with him. Heheh, cali jua. 3 times kali I asked him to confirm. I kept on asking Bung whether it was really him.
Inda ku pecaya that I was tapping the shoulder of a fomer boxing great, Anyway, he was kind enough and agreed with the picture. Baik jua ia okay. Kalau nda, kena lah aku... :-)

just stumbled in here after a web search on Prince Naseem, wondering what's become of him.

ha, cool story -- you're lucky he didn't swing around and smash your face when you tapped his shoulder.
