Naseem Hamed says that he is ready for a return to boxing.

The former WBO, WBC and IBF featherweight says he has been offered a six-fight deal by American TV and will be back in the ring by the middle of 2006.

Hamed, now 31, has not fought since a muted points victory over Manuel Calvo in May 2002 and has fought only twice in five years.

He has spent the time “just chilling” with his wife and two sons, but after being inspired by Ricky Hatton’s success story, says he is ready to end his exile once and for all.

“There are no opponents as yet, we’re just talking to TV,” he told The Times, “Then hopefully next year there’ll be a nice, big fight.”

I am still very young and have not had too many beatings. In fact for 20 years I fought as an amateur and pro and I only took a beating once against (Marco Antonio) Barrera.”

I was fighting the best in the division and I had a bad day, he had a good one. The fight came at an awkward time in my career where I didn’t really have a proper number one trainer, but I don’t want to make any excuses.”

I have no regrets and I can only say again and again that I enjoyed a fantastic career. ”

I believe I can still achieve great things in the ring and I wouldn’t be coming back unless I felt that.”
