Irish Middleweight prospect Andy Lee turned 25 years old today and he certainly got the birthday present he was looking for.

It has been confirmed today that the Kronk star will feature on the undercard of the Waldimir Klitschko vs. Ruslan Chagaev World Heavyweight title clash on June 20 in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Lee will share the ring with the durable Olegs Fedotovs 10 W(6KO) 5L(1KO) from Latvia.

Lee has spent the last month in the Klitschko training camp in Austria and is delighted to be fighting in his 19th fight in such a prestigious promotion.

"I'm really honoured to have the opportunity to fight on the card, it is not every day you get a change like this; the undercard of a World Heavyweight Title fight in a sold out 60,000 capacity venue is truly amazing. Waldimir is a real professional and is an inspiration and role model to me as a boxer in the process of learning my trade."

This will be Lee's 2nd outing this year and he is very keen to get back into the ring to further his goal to make his mark in the sport.

"I am very focussed on developing my boxing skills and this fight gives me the opportunity to gain yet more experience. I have been a professional now for just over 3 years and I am still learning through my fights and in the gym."

Kronk guru Emanuel Steward commented, "Andy is one of the most committed and dedicated fighter's I have ever worked with. He lives a very disciplined life and has always had a very mature attitude in his approach to his boxing career. Andy is a pleasure to be around and work with; he will shine in this forthcoming fight."
