Andy Lee
Andy Lee had a successful amateur boxing career prior to turning pro. He won a silver medal in the 2002 Junior World Championships in Cuba and a bronze medal in the 2004 European Amateur Boxing Championships in Crotia qualifing him for the Ireland 2004 Olympic boxing team. In the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens Lee won the 1st round and countbacked the 2nd round.
The legendary Emanuel Steward, Lee's trainer expects him to become a world champion by 2009. Steward recruited Lee out of the 2004 Olympics and was in his corner when Lee made his pro debut on March 1, 2006 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Having fought seven times in 2007 Steward wants Lee to fight once a month in 2008 to practice his craft. Steward says that how most of his fighters such as Michael Moorer and Thomas Hearns won their championships.
Andy Lee KOs Carl Daniels

Andy Lee's 2007 boxing tour in Ireland boosted his pro boxing record when he retired both Ciaran Healy and Jason McKay on their stools in bouts fought in Dublin. In Lee's hometown debut in Limerick he knocked out the tough Argentine Alejandro Gustavo Falliga.
Andy Lee lost in a huge upset to former Contender contestant Brian Vera by 7th round TKO on Friday, March 21, 2008 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. In a shocker referee Tony Chiarantano stopped the fight in mid action as Lee hit Vera in the face with a straight left. Lee had taken quite a beating but the stoppage seemed premature since Lee was still throwing punches. Lee had dropped Vera in round one and it looked as though Lee would have a short night but Vera proved to have a good chin and found a way inside catching Lee repeatedly. So now the former undefeated 6' 2" tall middleweight Irish southpaw, one of boxing's top prospects has lost his "O".
