WORLD MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION Andy Lee was back home in Limerick this evening to scout out the venue for his first world title defence.
Lee, who made history when he stopped Matt Korobov in Las Vegas earlier this month, wants his next fight to take place in a sold-out Thomond Park.
He was an interested spectator as Munster pummelled Leinster 28-13 and also showed off the gold to a delighted home crowd at half-time.
