Andy Lee looks set to defend his WBO middleweight title for the first time on the week of St. Patrick's Day.
According to reports today, Lee will fight Denmark's Patrick Nielsen.
The bout will take place here in Dublin at the 3Arena.
The exact date is yet to be confirmed, but it's expected to take place either on the 14th or 21st of March.
Lee won the title last month in Las Vegas.
Speaking afterwards, Lee said he hoped to have a home defence of his title- "I think I have earned that and deserved that."
"Hopefully that will be next, maybe March, St. Patrick's Day."
"Maybe Thomond Park or the 3 Arena in Dublin, somewhere in Ireland and that would be great."
