World-class Irish middleweight Andy Lee will make his third ring appearance of the year on September 28, when he appears on the undercard of stable-mate David Haye's heavyweight showdown with Tyson Fury.
The 29-year-old Lee is a sharp-shooting southpaw with cute counter-punching skills and has been on the verge of a world title for many years now. Indeed, last summer he boxed for his first world championship, losing via seventh-round stoppage to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Now based in London under the auspices of trainer Adam Booth, the Irishman's all-round game has gone from strength to strength, and earlier this year he claimed the scalps of countryman Anthony Fitzgerald and American Darryl Cunningham. On September 28 in Manchester, Lee looks to take his career to the next level and move one step closer to a second shot at world glory.
