Boxing:Unbeaten Irish middleweight Andy Lee has been sparring with WBO cruiserweight champion Jonathan Banks ahead of his seventh professional fight against Carlos Daniel Aballe at the Orleans Casino in Las Vegas on Thursday night.
The Limerick fighter is feeling very sharp ahead of the meeting with the 33-year-old Miami-based Cuban.
He said: "All my preparations have been going well and I have got a lot of work done with Jonathan at the Kronk in the last few weeks.
"I am just completing my medical here in Las Vegas now and then I will wind down ahead of Thursday's fight which I am confident of winning."
Aballe has won five of his nine pro fights so far with three of those victories coming via knock-outs.
