Manchester City star Kyle Walker was 'honoured' to meet former featherweight champion Prince Naseem.
The England international posted the snap of the pair to his half a million followers on Instagram.
The former British boxer, real name Naseem Hamed, retired in 2002 following chronic problems with his hands and has seemingly enjoyed life out of the ring, now a long way from his featherweight years.

The defender, dressed in his Manchester City training kit, shook hands with the former boxer who donned a baggy black hoodie.
Speaking on Instagram, Walker said: 'As a big boxing fan it was an honour to meet one of the greats after the game last week! #PrinceNaseem.'
'Prince' Naseem was one of the most entertaining boxers of his era and held multiple world championships during his glittering career.
He lost just once in the latter stages of his career against Mexican fighter Marco Antonio Barrera.
