Andy Lee HeaderWBO middleweight champion Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOs) announced today that he will next defend his title against unbeaten former Olympian Billy Joe Saunders (21-0, 11 KOs). The bout will take place on September 19 at Thomond Park Stadium in Limerick, Ireland. Lee will be making the first defense of his title.

He fought to a draw with mandatory challenger Peter Quillin in April, but that bout was changed to a non-title affair after Quillin failed to make weight. Saunders is coming off a split decision win over previously unbeaten Chris Eubank Jr.
