Talks about Andy Lee’s summer world title defence will begin this week after the World Boxing Organisation today sent out letters instructing all parties to get the ball rolling on his mandatory challenge from Billy Joe Saunders.

Andy Lee has targeted a summer bout at Thomond Park after Saturday night’s split decision draw against Peter Quillin in Brooklyn.

Andy Lee’s big showdown with Peter ‘Kid Chocolate’ Quillin is now a non-title fight after the American failed to make the weight limit.

Andy Lee decided to postpone a proposed homecoming world title defence in Ireland because victory in New York over Peter Quillin will transform him into a “global star”.

Boxing: Gary "Spike" O’Sullivan marked his Madison Square Garden debut with a routine victory in New York on Saturday night.

Andy Lee believes if he holds onto his belt, that a fight with middleweight kingpin Gennady Golovkin is inevitable.

Promoter Frank Warren is ready to bring world championship boxing back to Ireland this summer should he arrange a deal to promote a showdown between WBO champion Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders. 

Andy Lee may be forced to scrap his plans for a world-title defence as his mandatory challenger Billy Joe Saunders has stepped up his efforts to book a date with the champion.

Andy Lee has agreed to defend his WBO Middleweight title in New York in April, according to a report today.

Andy Lee could be set for a shock challenge for the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) middleweight title in Dublin this December.

Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan believes he has found the critical flaw in Billy Joe Saunders arsenal, which will lead to a knockout victory for the Corkman this evening.

Irish boxing star Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan is still on target for a world title shot in 2013 — and next month he takes the latest step on that road.
