Andy Lee shrugs off road trip fight

“It was very disappointing because a fight in Limerick would have been a dream come true but it wasn’t to be."

Ireland’s Andy Lee has vowed to shrug off the loss of home advantage when he puts his WBO middleweight title on the line against Billy Joe Saunders in Manchester.

Lee had originally been set to fight Saunders in his home city of Limerick in September before being forced to postpone the bout after picking up a virus.
