Lee gearing up for Point clash despite car crash

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.

Lee has been provisionally pencilled in to meet American Brad Austin in his 11th pro fight at the Point and says he can’t wait to make his home debut.

However, the 22-year-old Limerick southpaw, now fighting out of the Kronk in Detroit, admitted that he was lucky to have escaped uninjured after he was involved in a car accident last weekend in the USA.
