Classy Selby
Lee Selby produced a classy display as he proved too hot to handle for Belfast's Martin Lindsay at the Odyssey arena in Belfast . Selby, 26, successfully defended his British and commonwealth featherweight titles and may now be looking to defend them outright. Lindsay, 30, has held the British title in the past, but his last challenge for the belt in December 2010 ended in defeat and with that his unbeaten record.

Andy Lee returns
Nick Manifold
Andy Lee; a former world middleweight title challenger was making his long awaited return to this side of 'the pond'. After the death of close friend and trainer Manny Steward; Lee has returned to the UK and has teamed up with Adam Booth in an attempt to become a world champion. Lee squared off against tough warrior Anthony Fitzgerald.
In what was supposed to be an easy home-coming for Lee; the fight turned out to be far from it. Fitzgerald pushed Lee to the wire; closing him down into corners and really making Lee work hard for the win. Andy Lee eventually used his class to let off the more accurate and cuter punches which caught the eye of the judges & led to Lee winning by unanimous decision. If Lee wants to face the best of Britain such as Darren Barker or win a world title; he must dramatically improve from this performance.
