Andy Lee's first official world title defence looks set to take pace on September 5th.

Lee is set to defend his WBO middleweight title against Billy Joe Saunders at a venue that has yet to be decided.

Lee's trainer, Adam Booth has insisted that the location has yet to be finalised with Limerick and London both being discussed.

Saunders' promoter, Frank Warren has revealed that his fighter plans to have a warm-up bout in late July before he faces Lee in early September.
