Boxing: Unbeaten Irish middleweight Andy Lee will make his hometown professional debut at the University of Limerick next month.
Promoter Brian Peters confirmed at yesterday's press conference at the Hunt Museum in Limerick that Lee, unbeaten in 14 fights, would headline the first ever professional show in the city on February 2nd.
Lee's opponent for the University Arena clash has yet to be established, but Peters stated that he should be in a position to name an opponent for the scheduled 10-rounder within the next two weeks.
Lee, who boxes out of the Kronk Gym in Detroit, returns to the US tomorrow where he will go into a training camp with world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in West Palm Beach, Florida.
