ANDY LEE: The road to redemption goes through Belfast

Tomorrow night in Belfast I will step back into the ring and start a new phase of my career. I’m facing Anthony Fitzgerald from Dublin.

For me, this fight is the opportunity to get back to winning ways, to showcase the skills I’ve been learning over the last few months with Adam Booth. I know winning this fight will lead to bigger fights against the top middleweights in Ireland and Britain — Matthew Macklin, Darren Barker and Martin Murray.

For my opponent, the fight represents his chance at the big time. For the last few years he’s been eager to prove he belongs in middleweight mix with myself, Macklin, Barker and Murray. I know this because he’s been quite vocal in saying he wants to fight me in particular.
