Lee won’t rush world title shot

THE damage John Duddy sustained to his left eye looks certain to rule out the June 7 world title fight with Kelly Pavlik and, while Bob Arum is already looking around for a replacement, Andy Lee insisted yesterday that he won’t be rushing his world title ambitions.

Lee and his trainer/promoter Emanuel Steward had a meeting with Arum in New York yesterday and a possible world title fight was mentioned.

“There will be an announcement in the near future but, as regards a world title fight, nothing has changed,” said Lee.
