Hamed Pleads Guilty to Driving Charge:

SHEFFIELD, England - Former featherweight champion Naseem Hamed pleaded guilty Friday to dangerous driving in connection with an accident that left one man seriously injured.

The 31-year-old former IBF and WBO champ was arrested in May 2005 after his car was involved in a collision with two other vehicles.

A man driving in another car was airlifted to a hospital with two broken arms and a broken leg. A female passenger in the car was cut and bruised.

Hamed was released on bail following Friday's plea. Sentencing was set for May 12, and he could face jail time.

"Do not take bail as any indication that you will receive anything other than a custodial sentence," Judge Alan Goldsack said.

The flamboyant Hamed, once one of Britain's most celebrated athletes, last fought in May 2002 when he was booed out of the ring after a shaky decision over Spain's Manuel Calvo in London. He was beaten by Marco Antonio Barrera in Las Vegas four years ago, his first defeat in 37 fights.
