David Lemieux Could Require Surgery on His Right Hand

By Luke Furman

Middleweight contender David Lemieux (25-2, 24KOs) may require surgery on his right. Lemieux's promoter advised QMI Agency that Lemieux will begin training this week for his ring return. If he experiences pain in his right hand, he will likely undergo surgery.

Lemieux, 23-years-old, injured his hand during last December's twelve round majority decision loss to Joachim Alcine. Once regarded as one of the best prospects in boxing, Lemieux has lost his last two outings and hasn't tasted victory since December 2010.
