I remember years ago fists flying with these two at the Airport, but Naz was Warren's fighter and I only heard his version of events, FW that is. Did the Naz really chin him after Eubank ripped his belts from him ??? Anyone know how it went down??
Naz taunted Eubank, saying 'Do you wanna see my belts, Chris? Look at them, why can't you look at them?' Eubank had just lost to Calzaghe to try get his title back. It was total disrespect from a little boy. Eubank told him to walk on by like the little c-word that he is. Naz called him a big nostril'd c-word. Eubank tried to put some paper in his mouth! Naz swiped his hand away and Eubank said do that again and I'll give you a slap you little runt. Naz then threw a right hand and Eubank dodged it but it clipped his lip. Chris then ripped Naz's belts from him and threw them across the airport floor!!
Hamed was the epitomy of a arrogant little runt with a chip on his shoulder. He stole a little of many fighters act (Camacho,Ali) and he ripped off Eubanks"s rope jump..and adapted it....though he was British Arab....Hamed"s biggest legacy may be the influence he had on a whole swathe of british asian teenagers im the mid and late 90s! He certainly popularised the skin fade haircut amongst those fans of his!
I was a fan of both fighters... just wished that Naz had finished his career on a stronger note... but he does not have to worry about what I think
To naughty adolescents in the mid to late 90s, sure. The golden period was early to mid 90s with Eubank bringing family entertainment, joy and laughter. He also had a brain.
In boxing terms, Naz never overcame adversity like Eubank did against Watson or Benn did against McClellan. He never beat an international great like Hatton did Tszyu or McGuigan did Pedroza. His technique and balance was hideous and quite awful.
hmmm. chip on his shoulder? not sure that is accurate. arrogant? for sure. but he always seemed comfortable with himself.
Slightly off topic, but with the same main cast... I have never posted a YouTube video before, but I'll try. See who you can spot at around 1m 50s of this cheeky little vid: This content is protected
Eubank is the quintessential English gentleman...a monocled swashbuckler...chivalrous...someone who has dined in the worlds finest restaraunts with lords..but eaten bread and water for supper and slept pon boxing gym floors...unscrupulously honest..devoted to education,discipline a stiff upper lip..his favourite tv show is "The 2 Ronnies".....someone capable of wearing $30,000 dinner jackets...but just as capable of swinging the said jacket to the ground so a fair maiden wouldnt have to walk over a puddle
