Matthew Macklin’s preparations are on course for St. Patrick’s Day show down

Macklin ready to take on Sergio Martinez on March 17th

“I have done the rounds and I have done the work.

I sparred with K9 (Cornelius Bundrage), and there are three junior middleweights on the card, so I have been working with them,” added Lee.

Lee trained for this fight with Sugar Hill and his brother Roger while head trainer Emanuel Steward was working with heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko in Europe.

However, Steward has arrived back from Germany (where Klitschko KO’ed Jean Marc Mormeck on Saturday night) and he will man Lee’s corner on fight night.

The 27-year-old has heard nothing more on a possible fight against Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. and he will return to Ireland for a short break after this assignment.

Though Lee would not speculate on possible title fights down the line, he is adamant that he will get the big fight he says he deserves soon.

“They are avoiding me for a reason. The focus is on this week and I will see where we are after that.”
