Another big hitter has joined Off The Ball, as Andy Lee has put pen to paper on a deal to become the newest member of the team.

The former WBO middleweight champion will be a regular across all shows, from Off The Ball seven days a week on Newstalk, to the new digital breakfast show, Off The Ball AM.

Lee will also speak to some of his favourite sportspeople in a series of exclusive videos, and will be coming to an OTB event near you in 2018.

Speaking about whether the decision means he would be hanging up his gloves, Lee told Off The Ball AM that the move wasn't necessarily the end of his career in the ring. 

"It'll just be something to keep me busy while I'm not in the gym!," Lee joked.

"No, it doesn't really change anything. It's an interesting stage in my life. I am coming to the end of my career, so I've been thinking about transitioning to the next thing. To have this opportunity to work with this team is great for me, and I'm grateful for the chance."
