I believe you're referring to Naseem Hamed, the British-born boxer, and former featherweight champion.
It's not clear from your question whether or not you are aware that Hamed is only now 2 weeks out of prison, where he served just 16 weeks of a 15 month sentence for dangerous driving. Hamed was showing off his car to a passenger, when he crashed head-on into a car traveling in the opposite direction. The accident also caused Hamed to strike the car that he had been attempting to pass at the time of the collision. He will remain under house arrest for the remainder of the 15 months.
Given that Hamed's last fight was in May of 2002, and that he'll be 33 years old by the time his home detention ends late next year, it's somewhat unlikely that he'll be a serious contender to regain his former title. That being said, Hamed has not officially announced retirement plans, and I imagine there is some question of what else he might do as far as gainful employment. Prior to his sentencing, Hamed did tell a sports publication (Girls Talk Sports) that he was considering a return to the ring - so who knows?
Various linkage goodness below... hope this helps.

He was in prison after seriously injuring a motorist while driving recklessly (showing off) but was released and placed under house arrest, says he is hoping to come back when he gets out. Not likely.
