Lee to tackle Fitzgerald in Belfast

Irish middleweight Andy Lee will face Anthony Fitzgerald at Belfast’s Odyssey Arena on February 9.

Irish Examiner columnist Lee has relocated from Detroit to London to work with Adam Booth following the death of his former trainer Emanuel Steward in October.

The bout will be the Limerick native’s first fight on this side of the Atlantic since 2010 and also his first outing since a seventh-round stoppage against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
