IT SEEMED wholly appropriate that Andy Lee landed the punch that clinched this world title, the very same belt won by Steve Collins 20 years ago, moments after he had been rocked himself.

UNDEFEATED Irish middleweight Andy Lee is training with world middleweight champ Jermain Taylor ahead of his appearance on the Bernard Dunne/Kiko Martinez undercard at the Point in Dublin on August 25.

AS far as co-promoter Pat Magee is concerned, the controversy instigated by Kiko Martinez ahead of his tilt at Bernard Dunne’s European super bantamweight title at the Point in Dublin on August 25, is now closed.

ANDY LEE goes into his third professional fight in Memphis tonight confident he can live with the best in the middleweight division.

ANDY LEE will again reap the benefits of signing up with Hall Of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward when he begins training with undisputed world middleweight champion Jermain Taylor in Detroit next week.
