Former fighter Prince Naseem Hamed is facing jail time after pleading guilty to a dangerous driving charge that resulted in a serious accident. A Sheffield judge has warned Hamed, “Do not take bail as any indication that you will receive anything other than a custodial sentence.” The Prince must return to court on May 12. ——————————– An interesting scenario is unfolding in the Philippines in regard to Manny Pacquiao’s July 2 fight against Oscar Larios at the Araneta Coliseum.
