Andy Lee Bio

Andy Lee (28-1, 20 KOs), who at 6?2, is one inch taller than Chvez, Jr., was born in London but is Irish of heritage. Ireland?s sole boxing representative in the 2004 Olympics, Lee made his professional debut in 2006, winning a six-round decision over Anthony Cannon.

Trained at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit by Hall of Fame inductee Emanuel Steward, who has referred to Lee as ?my left-handed Tommy Hearns,? Lee possesses exceptional skills, speed and movement, complemented by good punching power and experience against good opposition.

He enters this fight riding a four-year, 13-bout winning streak with eight of those victories coming inside the distance, including a win over Bryan Vera last October to avenge the only loss on his professional ledger. He enters this fight as a consensus Top Three world-rated contender, ranked No. 2 by the World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Organization
