HAMED: I WAS JUST INGLE'S MEAL TICKET

PRINCE NASEEM HAMED has ripped open old wounds and accused his late trainer of brainwashing him as a child.

Hamed established himself as one of the best British boxers of all time under the tutelage of Brendan Ingle.

The Sheffield star dazzled the Irishman from the moment he set foot in his gym, aged seven. But his glory years were dogged by a bitter row over a deal struck between trainer and fighter when Hamed was still at school.

Ingle promised he would help his protege earn £40million ~ in exchange for 25 percent.

New movie ‘Giant’, released today, tells the story of their complex relationship - albeit from Ingle's perspective.
