Lee drops down and eyes Mayweather

Andy Lee believes his step down in weight opens up a “whole new world of boxing” — one which includes the world’s leading fighter, Floyd Mayweather Jnr.

Lee, who has campaigned at middleweight or above for his entire 33-fight career, has discovered he can comfortably make the 154lb light-middleweight limit.

Some simple dietary changes from the Limerick southpaw has enabled him to turn his back on his previous 160lb limit and a picture posted by his trainer Adam Booth on Twitter suggests that he is stronger than ever in his new division.
