Sami Hamed was born in England on June 9, 1998. The eldest son of boxing icon and former world champion Prince Naseem Hamed has also entered into the sport. Sami competes in the welterweight division and has adopted the alias "Prince" — paying homage to his father's famous moniker.

Like his father, he is signed to Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren. Unlike his dad, who was a renowned southpaw, Sami fights in an orthodox stance. Standing at 5ft 10in (178 cm) with a reach of 70 inches (179 cm), he has quickly gained attention on the influencer boxing scene.

Sami previously told SunSport: "It's in my heart and it's in my DNA. "Obviously everybody wants to be like their dad, but when your dad is knocking everybody out it's on another level. "I just want to get in there, I want to show my dad that listen, I can have a good fight as well and pack that dig.

"I just want to make my parents proud.". But Sami's sights were not always set on boxing. He said: "We've played tennis, football, all of that. "I wanted to be an actor when I was like 12 years old, all the way to like 15, 16. "My heart was set, I really wanted to be on the big screen. I still feel like I've got the potential to do that.
