Andy Lee-Alexis Hloros on March 10th in Detroit

According to trainer and manager Emanuel Steward, middleweight contender Andy Lee (27-1, 19KOs) will return on March 10th in Detroit, taking on Alexis Hloros (16-4-2, 12KOs) in a stay busy fight. Lee was orginally scheduled to return on the Sergio Martinez-Matthew Macklin undercard on March 17th in New York City, but he withdrew from the show while trying to secure an April fight with WBA champion Felix Sturm, who instead finalized a deal with Sebastian Zbik. Lee is now a frontrunner to face WBC champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in an HBO televised main event in June.

Manny loves that kid; keeps putting him in soft though. Chavez could be interesting.

What ever happened to Lee vs. John Duddy? Wasn't that going to happen?

Ah, right. I saw that fight, but didn't realize he had formally retired.

He quit last year when he was supposed to fight Lee.

Lee fucked up. He screwed over his New York fans who bought tickets to see him fight Quillin because he actually thought Sturm would fight him.

So instead of fighting at MGM on the undercard of Martinez's fight, he's fighting this bum in a untelivsed fight.

Way to go man
