'Prince' Naseem Hamed is backing his son Aadam Hamed to score a spectacular knockout when he makes his professional debut.

And that will come on August 26, when Aadam fights on the undercard of a heavyweight world title clash between Daniel Dubois vs Oleksandr Usyk.

The 23-year-old has got himself in terrific shape ahead of his debut, as he posted a picture looking ripped on.

This came alongside the caption: "2 weeks away from fight night feeling stronger than ever Alhamdulilah."

And his dad Naseem commented: "Someone is gettin’ knocked spark out!!!"

Aadam has big shoes to fill following in the footsteps of his dad who is one of the greatest British boxers of all time.

More on Usyk vs Dubois

'Naz' held the WBO featherweight world title for six years in the 1990's and he carried incredible power for someone of his size, knocking out 31 opponents in 37 fights.

And it was not just his power that made him so entertaining, but also his flamboyance in the ring and charisma on the microphone.

But, after suffering a first and only career loss against Marco Antonio Barrera in 2001, 'Naz' had one more fight before retiring at the relatively young age of 28.

And now he is bringing up the future generation, so up steps Aadam.
