According to Emaunel Steward, they have offered the fight to the winner of Pavlik/Duddy nex year.
It would be amazing if it were 2 irishmen going for a world title but I doubt it will happen,
Pavlik - Lee would be very exciting.
Any Lee V Duddy/Pavlik
Re: Any Lee V Duddy/Pavlik
Who did Manny make the offer to? Arum for Pavlik? Bob has been on holiday for the past 2 weeks. Eddie McLoughlin for Duddy? I sit next to him for the majority of the workday and he's never said a word to me about an offer. Who is he making the offer to?Ted wrote:According to Emaunel Steward, they have offered the fight to the winner of Pavlik/Duddy nex year.

But I do want to thank him for keeping John's name in the press.

From fightnews:
"Manager/trainer Emanuel Steward told Fightnews.com on Tuesday that his unbeaten 23-year-old middleweight Andy Lee (15-0, 12 KOs) will soon be taking a major step up and that he expect Lee to become a world champion by 2009. Steward said Lee would be back in camp with Wladimir Klitschko on Thursday and will headline an ESPN2 card on March 21 [against Brian Vera], followed by an April 10th fight in Detroit. Then comes a date in Ireland against former world title challenger Howard Eastman. After that Steward said he wants to put Lee in with Winky Wright, which would position Lee to fight for the title."
