John Duddy / Andy Lee negotiations ongoing

Answering the same question, Hamilton said that with the right promoter, promotion and advertising campaign the fight could work as a headliner in New York or in Northern Ireland.

Hamilton went on say that the Lee matchup is a possible “fight of interest” for Duddy, but that he was also working on a few other leads for his fighter. What he did confirm is that Duddy will be back in action come what may in 2010, probably in late November or early December.
The fighter himself, who took a break in the summer after his loss to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 26, has been working away to keep his conditioning in check so that when a fight is finalized he will be ready for camp.

Meanwhile, light middleweight Henry Coyle (11-2, 10 KOs) will fight Mustafah Johnson (8-7-1, 2 KOs) on Saturday night on the same card as Lee at the Horseshoe Casino in a contest scheduled for eight rounds.

“I have been training hard all summer,” Coyle told the Irish Voice on Monday.  “I’m ready to go.”

Coyle was meant to fight on September 18 but his original opponent dropped out, and though a stand in opponent was almost found, terms could not be agreed and the Mayo man decided to wait for this fight.

Coyle was last in action on May 29 when he defeated Marcus Luck at the same venue, and the 29-year-old is keen to get back in the ring. Father Gerry, who is on tour with 16 boxers from Geesala Boxing Club in California this week, will link up with his son and work in the corner with head trainer Sam Colonna on fight night.

Johnson is a durable 32-year-old from Indianapolis who is 3-2 for his last five fights and has gone the distance in all five. 

Finally, light welterweight Jamie "The Nuisance” Kavanagh (2-0) is back in action on Thursday night when he fights Ricardo Malfavon (0-2) at Club Nokia in Los Angeles in a contest scheduled for four rounds.
