IRELAND'S World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight champion Wayne McCullough said that he wanted to fight the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) champion Prince Naseem Hamed as soon as possible.

Las Vegas based McCullough, in Atlanta to watch the Olympic boxing tournament, said: "I want Naseem. All he has to do is say yes instead of sounding off in the papers. I will take him on in England, America or even his native Yemen."
