Lee, who defeated World bronze medallist Nikola Sjekloca to guarantee a bronze medal and Olympic qualification, lost 28-17 to Germany's Lukas Wilaschek.

"It was a technical fight and he had his tactics right," Lee told RTE Radio.

"Another day it could have went my way. I just need to up my game a little and if I get him at the Olympics I'll be more than happy and get my revenge for sure."
