Prince meets the Prince

The Prince met the Prince today as Britain's Prince Charles took a turn as a boxing referee sandwiched between two champions of the ring.

Heavyweight Lennox Lewis and former WBO featherweight champion Prince Naseem squared up in jest as they waited to meet Charles at the Party in the Park event.

As the mismatched pair sparred, Charles stepped in between them.

"You could say that Prince Charles was the ref," said Lewis.

The three posed for a picture, before Charles asked Lewis about the biting incident with Mike Tyson.

The boxer said: "He heard I got bit. I was telling him the circumstances surrounding it and that it was not a good experience.

"He also congratulated me for my most recent fight (in which he beat Tyson) and said I was a credit to my sport."

Charles was meeting concert stars backstage at the Hyde Park event in aid of the Prince’s Trust charity.
