NASEEM HAMED tipped his protege Callum Johnson to put the sparkle back into boxing as the former multiple world champion officially launched his management career.
Naseem has returned to the sport he quit in 2002 after deciding he had too much knowledge not to pass on.
And the 36-year-old looks set to bring as much colour to his spell in management as he did to his fighting career after enthusing about light-heavyweight Johnson at a media conference in Glasgow.
Prince Naseem sees something of himself in 25-year-old Johnson, who won gold for Scotland at the Commonwealth Games last month.
Lincolnshire-based Johnson is, unsurprisingly, a more unassuming character outside the ring than his manager but Hamed is excited by his “explosive” style and aims to guide him to a world title.
