Reports that Andy Lee title defence is in doubt – again

Posted by

Rumours are circulating that Andy Lee’s defence of his WBO Middleweight world title will be postponed for a second time.

The Limerick boxer was sent to face challenger Billy Lee Saunders as part of a fight night in the Manchester Arena on October 10.

The two were initially scheduled to fight in Thomond Park at the end of September, but that was rescheduled last month.

Promoter Frank Warren is set to make a statement in the next few hours, but reports on social media suggest that the fight is off. Saunders is rumoured to have injured himself in training.
