‘Happiest I’ve been’ – Prince Naseem Hamed loving new life living near Queen in Windsor – but still ‘100 per cent cocky’
PRINCE Naseem Hamed has revealed his delight at moving to “beautiful” Windsor, admitting: “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”
The ex-world featherweight boxing champion has fellow royalty for company after renting a £1.4million property next to the Queen.
Naseem, 48, has delighted locals by taking regular strolls with his dog near Windsor Castle.
Having retired from boxing in 2002, Naz boasts a net worth of £50million.
And he’s now spending his days enjoying life in the regal town, where he has also be seen taking his £120,000 Corvette Stingray supercar out for a spin.
Naseem hit the very top in boxing, winning 36 of his 37 fights while holding three of the four major world belts.

Naseem noted: “100 per cent [cockiness], but I’m more humble now.”
It’s been 20 years since Naseem’s last fight, a win over Manuel Calvo immediately following his defeat by Marco Antonio Barrera.
Reflecting on his retirement, Naz said: “After winning the fifth world title belt, I just thought, why not be one of the smart ones in boxing?”
