The Ingle's once read an article that refered to him as the Aldi Naz - and have called it him often ever since.
Stylistically they are chalk and cheese, if anything Naz did everything wrong but he had the balance of a gyroscope and the reflexes of a cat when he was young. I caught him at the Mansfield Leisure Centre in 92,93 and 94 when he was still a professional novice. But you could see he was going to be a very big star indeed.
Interestingly, when Carl Froch turned professional - Naz knew he was a fan and took him for a spin in his Testarossa in a bid to become his manager, also the Ingle gym wanted to train him. But they take a large slice from their fighters - and ultimately after winning the Bronze at the Amateur Worlds in Belfast, he decided to join Mick Hennessy whom had just began out as a promoter after formerly being part of Panix Promotions (who looked after Lennox at the end).
Hennessy had esteemed trainer McCracken, looking after a group of lads he called the 'Real class of 2002' consisting of Froch, David Walker, Mathew Thirwall and Lee Meagre. All bright amateurs and promising professionals. David Haye fought on one of their early BBC broadcasts, but later he signed with Frank Maloney instead.
Sadly Audley Harrison then won a gold at the olympics, and then he negitoated to take their full boxing budget of £1m year himself, delivering absolute dross against binmen, taxi drivers and nightclub bouncers. And shortly after the BBC withdrew from the sport altogether on a professional level.
