<p>The official trailer for &ldquo;Giant,&rdquo; starring Egyptian actor Amir El-Masry, has just been released ahead of its highly anticipated UK and European cinema debut this October. The film is inspired by the real-life story of British-Yemeni boxing legend Prince Naseem &ldquo;Naz&rdquo; Hamed and his meteoric rise from the streets of Sheffield to world championship glory under the guidance of his eccentric Irish trainer, Brendan Ingle.</p>
<p><strong>The Legacy of Prince Naseem Hamed</strong></p>
<p>Known for his explosive knockouts and electrifying ring entrances, Prince Naseem Hamed became one of the most iconic figures in 1990s boxing. Born in 1974, he rose to fame at the age of 21, securing titles from the WBO, WBC, IBF and the lineal featherweight championship. His dazzling charisma and unorthodox style captivated fans around the world. With 31 knockouts in 36 professional fights, Hamed redefined the sport&rsquo;s showmanship. He retired shortly after his only professional loss in 2001 and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2015.</p>
