Lee prepares for Detroit debut but vows to fight here

The former St Francis Limerick southpaw said yesterday that he would fight at the Palace in Detroit on January 28 against an opponent yet to be named.

Lee, 21, signed a five-year contract with renowned American coach Emanuel Stewart on Wednesday and will fight out of Stewart’s famous Kronk gym in Detroit. However, the 2004 Irish Olympian says that while he will be based in the States, that he also hopes to fight in Ireland.
