Lee said: "I’ve watched him in action and he’s going to be a very tough opponent. He’s the current European Union Champion and is coming into this fight on the back of some very good wins. He’s never been stopped so it could be a tough night but I’m really looking forward to it."

"It’s great to be fighting at home again. It always means that little bit more when you’re fighting in your hometown. I’ve always got tremendous support from the people of Limerick right from my amateur days they have always backed me100 percent so I’m always trying to repay that support.
