Prince Naseem made a rare public outing on Saturday evening when he celebrated at ringside following his son's debut win.
Aadam Hamed was boxing on the undercard of the Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois bout when he stopped 17-year-old Vojtech Hrdy in the first round.
And as Hamed celebrated in the ring, cameras cut to ringside where his proud dad was celebrating. Sitting next to Prince Naseem was his loyal wife, Eleasha Hamed, with whom he has two sons.
Eleasha, who like Prince Naseem is from Yorkshire, was a hairdresser when she first met the budding boxer, who would go onto superstardom claiming numerous championships.

After the pair tied the knot, Eleasha converted to Islam. Speaking in 2000, Prince Naseem said: "I wouldn't have married her if she hadn't agreed to convert. She has to live the exact same way that I live and bring up our kids in accordance with my religion."
He had hoped to have a large family, but added: "When I watched the pain my wife went through carrying my son and giving birth to him, I realised I couldn't ask her to have nine children for me."

Eleasha has stuck by the ex-boxer's side through some testing times. He was jailed for 15 months for dangerous driving, which saw him stripped of his MBE.
And in recent years, as he has put on weight, Eleasha has been spotted walking with him through Windsor, where the pair live.
Prince Naseem's concerned brother Ali told The Sun about his weight gain: "His weight is a result of the trauma and stress. He’s turned in on himself and has just eaten and eaten."
The pair's latest outing was for Aadam's first professional bout, which comes after the youngster elected to not have an amateur career.
It only took a couple of minutes for Aadam to back Hrdy into a corner and unleash a series of punches that caused the youngster's corner to attempt to throw the towel in.
However, it took two attempts, with the corner hilariously missing the ring with their first attempt.
