Andy Lee says he will finally get ‘back to the big time’ when he takes on John Jackson in a WBC world title eliminator at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden on June 7.

Andy Lee blamed ring-rust for his underwhelming performance against Frank Horta but is now hoping to seal a world title shot at light-middleweight before the end of the year.

Andy Lee believes his step down in weight opens up a “whole new world of boxing” — one which includes the world’s leading fighter, Floyd Mayweather Jnr.
