Steward eyes All-Ireland showdown

Both have their sights on world champion, Kelly Pavlik. Duddy is scheduled to challenge for the world title next year and should be claim the belt, Lee would be all set to challenge him.

“John Duddy is a little bit in front of me in terms of fights,” Lee said after Saturday night’s win. “He has a good chance against Pavlik. I am not the one talking about world title fights right now, though. ‘Manny’ (Steward) will know when it is right for me to take on a fight for a world title.”
