Lee relaxed and ready to rumble on Shannonside

ANDY LEE’S opponent for Saturday’s Yanjing Fight Night at the UL Sports Arena in Limerick failed to show for yesterday’s head to head at the Crescent Shopping Centre in Dooradoyle.

However, there was nothing sinister about the no-show as Mamadou Thiam’s entourage had got caught up in a traffic accident and missed their flight. Now he has been scheduled to arrive at Shannon Airport tomorrow.

The hundreds who turned up at the Crescent were not disappointed, however, as they watched Lee and the three Cork-based former Cuban world junior champions work-out.
