Limerick's Andy Lee has had a new opponent confirmed for his eagerly-awaited professional debut in Detroit next Friday night.
The 21-year-old middleweight will fight Michigan's Anthony Cannon - a little known super middleweight who out-pointed Larry Russell last November in his only fight to date.
Lee, who will top the bill at the 20,000 all-seater Joe Louis Arena, was originally scheduled to face Nicholson Poulard, but the Canadian was forced to pull out.
Following his six-rounder against Cannon, Lee is scheduled to appear on the undercard of the IBF world heavyweight title clash between Vladimir Klitschko and Chris Byrd in Mannheim, Germany on April 22.
Lee and Klitschko will train together under the watchful eye of the world-renowned Emmanuel Steward at a camp in Majorca in two weeks' time.
