Bernard Dunne’s fight against the Thai lad has been confirmed for the 26th of September in the 02…
Is Andy Lee fighting this weekend?
I was reading last night that Duddy V Lee might be fixed for sometime later this year.
He’s fighting tomorrow night in the horseshoe casino, Indiana, against some nomark called schuler.
Brian Peters came on off the ball last night while representatives of Duddy & Lee were on air and offered to put up €50k of his own money to the winner on top of the purse to make it happen in the UL arena. Duddy’s coach fudged around the issue, didn’t sound like he wanted it to be honest.

Brian Peters is a complete fucking spa. A prick of the highest order. I heard the interview and once again he came across as a tosser.
Think that’s harsh, thought he sounded alright and seems like a decent sort
thought Duddy’s fellow had a bit of his bluff called

Did you see the programme they did following around Dunne for the year and he was in it. A cunt. Made Don King look like a decent sort.
Didn’t see it

tis shit or bust at this stage for duddy,his last fight was atrocious hes on a downward spiral,the lee/duddy fight was put to hbo and they said no not because of lee but because of duddys last fight,hes even gone back to his old trainer harry kieth from gleassons gym who had him for his first 27 fights but i think thats because of money as hes cheaper than the last 2 trainers,lee is ranked 14 by the wba and hes been told that 2 more wins will give him a title shot,my moneys on him fightin felix sturm in germany early next year
ANDY Lee has thrown down the gauntlet to fellow Irish middleweight boxer John Duddy.
On Friday night in the United States Limerick’s pro boxer brought his record to 19 wins from 20 fights when knocking out Anthony Shuler in the eighth round.
Now the Castleconnell southpaw has his sights set on an all-Irish clash.
“I’m up for the fight with John Duddy. This is a fight the public have been speculating about for some considerable time and I believe it will be a memorable occasion with plenty of edge and drama,” said Andy Lee after his latest career win in the Horseshoe Casino, Hammond, Indiana.
The fight is being proposed for Limerick’s University Arena on November 28.
Top Irish promoter Brian Peters is hoping to entice the duo to what would be a sell-out fight in UL.
“I see the deal for this fight as a 50/50 one because to me the status of both men in on par, but to make is that bit more attractive to them I’m prepared to offer a €35,000 bonus to the winner,” said Peters who also manages Bernard Dunne.
“Dangling the carrot of a bonus of this nature should certainly make the fight more interesting to both parties although there is a lot of serious talking still to be done,” explained Peters.
However any deal must wait until after October 10 when Duddy fights on a Top Rank Card in New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Another option for Andy Lee is another potential all-Irish clash against Matthew Macklin. Macklin meets Finnish fighter Amin Asikainen on September 25 for the European title and has already hinted that he would like to defend that potential title against Lee.
“That would be a great fight for Irish boxing fans,” said Macklin of a potential title defence against Lee.
“It would be the biggest all-Irish fight for a long, long time and to have a major belt like a European title on the line would make it a massive occasion. Andy’s a good fighter and a decent lad, but business is business at the end of the day and if I’m European champion then I think it’s a fight that makes real sense,” said Macklin.
After Friday’s 20th fight of his pro-career Lee is due back in Limerick this week.
In the last 12 months, the Limerick southpaw has been quietly working under the radar picking up valuable experience in the gym.
Following four outings in Germany, Ireland and US he is currently ranked as high as third in the European Boxing Association (EBA) and 14th in the World Boxing Association (WBA) rankings.
Andy Lee will never win a belt of note.
Quite possibly, too much of a boxer and not enough of a fighter…He will get a shot in the next 18 months I would say all the same…Duddy is vastly overrated
He cuts too easily as well. Even in fights that he has won comfortably he has end up cut.
Duddy is overrated but from seeing the 2 of these guys box(admittedly more of Duddy) Duddy would beat Lee.
Pretty Boy Floyd. Boom bang bash and he’s done.
rinntin runt and flano,ye havent a clue what yer talkin about,stick to the wrestling,by the way flano mayweathers about 2 stone lighter than duddy,back the draw at 28-1 though with marquez though good value,
Do you think Lee will win a boxing title of consequence?
I’ll show you what I know. Im a boxing machine. BANG! SMASH! WALLOP!
And I was referrring to Mayweathers upcoming catch fight. Can’t remember who it’s against though.
he get a shot at one anyway if he stays unbeaten proably felix sturms one next year,would have a fair chance against him hes proably the weakest champion out there,hed proably beat duddy and i cant see it being in UL if they do fight it would proably be in NY,but i cant see the point of him fightin duddy,heres a dinger from lee from the garden a couple a years ago
