Lee, Thiam set for public workout

ANDY LEE will come face to face with Saturday night’s big fight opponent, Mamadou Thiam, for the first time today when they both workout at the Crescent Shopping Centre in Limerick (12 noon-2pm).

Jimmy Magee will be the master of ceremonies and a special ring will be erected for the event which will feature a selection of the under-card boxers including local favourite, Jamie Power, who will meet Mayo man, John Waldron, for the Irish light heavyweight title on the night.

In a second title fight, another Mayo man, Michael Sweeney, will be out to end Dubliner Ian Tims unbeaten record in a grudge match for the Irish cruiserweight title.
