According to boxrec Andy Lee is fighting Peter Quillin on the undercard of the Mayweather fight in September!
He did. Also reading that the cut he suffered is on his scalp and not as close to his eye as it first appeared which is encouraging
Anyone hear any more on this lads? Lee to challenge Kid Chocolate for WBO world title on Mayweather undercard http://www.irish-boxing.com/andy-lee-challenge-kid-chocolate-wbo-title-mayweather-undercard/
I would prefer if Andy retired. But since the fight is going ahead I have to say Lee v Quillin could actually be a very exciting fight to watch. You don't always have to have two world class boxers to get a great scrap. They both have plenty of shortcomings and vulnerabilities. Their styles could mesh very well for the fans.
Connor Coyle is just after defeating an awkward Lesothan to make it 4 out of 4 for the boxers at the commonwealth games.
