Found this piece on secondsout.com, the talk of a Hamed comeback might not be bollocks after all........
A helping hand from Prince Naseem Hamed has given Billy "the Kid" Dib a huge boost to the start of his career. The 19 year-old spent nearly a month with the former featherweight world champion in Sheffield, England in the lead-up to his last fight on April 24 where he won the vacant IBO Asia-Pacific title in Sydney.
"We did a lot of sparring and technical work," said Dib 6-0 (4). "It's a one off opportunity and I'm taking it. I can't describe how much it means for him to be taking time to work with me."
Dib has improved significantly since working with Hamed and looks to be one of Australia's best young world title prospects for the future.
"I'm still young, but in twelve months time I will be right up there," said Dib.
