According to trainer and manager Emanuel Steward, middleweight contender Andy Lee (27-1, 19KOs) will return on March 10th in Detroit, taking on Alexis Hloros (16-4-2, 12KOs) in a stay busy fight. Lee was orginally scheduled to return on the Sergio Martinez-Matthew Macklin undercard on March 17th in New York City, but he withdrew from the show while trying to secure an April fight with WBA champion Felix Sturm, who instead finalized a deal with Sebastian Zbik. Lee is now a frontrunner to face WBC champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in an HBO televised main event in June.
