British boxer Prince Naseem Hamed won the IBO featherweight title clash after outpointing Spanish fighter Manuel Calvo in London last night.

Hamed, the WBO featherweight champion from 1995-2000, was returning to the ring for the first time for 13 months but was jeered after an unimpressive performance in front of 10,000 fans at the London Arena.
