Naseem Hamed vs. Wayne McCullough, billed as "Halloween Fright Night" was a professional boxing match contested on October 31, 1998 for the WBO and Lineal featherweight championship.

For his next fight, Hamed would return to the United States for the second time in his career, having made his American debut the previous year in December against Kevin Kelley.

[4] As the fight took place on Halloween night, Hamed made his entrance by walking through a set made to look like a graveyard (complete with smoke, sound effects, organ music, skeletons and confetti) while dancing to Michael Jackson's 1983 hit "Thriller."

It was only the second time in Hamed's career that he went the full 12 rounds after having not done so since his twelfth professional fight in 1994 (his only other decision victory had come in a 6-round bout in 1992).

[6] The following month in January 1999, Hamed also confirmed that he was splitting with his promoter Frank Warren after his contract had expired.
