It’s only right that he is on the front and back pages…
Andy Lee, the new WBO middleweight champion. It has a lovely sound to it doesn’t it?
The Limerick man is now officially the best in the division after a devastating right hook in the 6th round against Matt Korobov in Las Vegas on Saturday night saw him realise his lifelong dream.
The 30-year-old will now have a mandatory title defence against Billy Joe Saunders and Lee has already stated that he wants the fight to happen in Ireland.
One thing is for sure, he will have the entire support of Limerick behind him in his title defence.
