Boxer Daniel Teasdale was hailed as the heir to legendary Prince Naseem Hamed, with trainer Brendan Ingle declaring 'He's better than Naz at the same age.' Photographer Simon Roberts and filmmaker Stuart Mitchell documented Teasdale's rise, promoting him as 'who's the next Prince Naseem?' Teasdale won national titles and was considered exceptional, with former stablemate Amer Khan calling him 'like Oscar de la Hoya' and noting his ballet and gymnastics training enhanced his footwork. However, after Hamed's split from Ingle in 1998, Teasdale left the gym, following his father's lead, and linked up with Herol 'Bomber' Graham. The transition was funded by a businessman seeking to be part of Teasdale's ascent.

Despite his talent, constant attention from multiple parties seeking to capitalize on his potential created instability. Teasdale admits his career suffered from too many hands involved, and his debut was marred by crowd rioting, with his follow-up promising to reveal more about why his star never fully ignited.
