Irish middleweight Andy Lee teams up with English trainer Adam Booth

Lee has now relocated to London

"Lou has very good connections over here (in London), especially with Eddie Hearns. It is flexible at the moment,” said Lee.

“He is my promoter and has the rights to me worldwide but I think he is going to allow me to fight here and maybe at home if any fights come up. Hopefully, I will get out in January and we will see again in March.”

Lee hopes to get back in the ring early in the New Year to work off the ring rust, but the fight he craves most in 2013 is one against Matthew Macklin, who is also promoted by DiBella.

“We should definitely fight.  We are both there, we are both knocking around and it is a big fight and people want to see it,” said Lee.

“People don't want to see me fighting someone no one has ever heard of and same with him, so we'll see what happens.”

Macklin went on the Off the Ball radio show on Newstalk in Ireland on Monday night and said that while he would welcome a fight with Lee, he would prefer to pursue a fight Chavez first.
