Spike O'Sullivan's coach explains why Andy Lee should consider moving up a weight division

Paschal Collins believes Andy Lee should take some time out and then make a move into the super middleweight ranks where he could enjoy success.

The Limerick boxer lost his WBO Middleweight belt to Billy Joe Saunders on Saturday night, and although a re-match could still be on the cards, Spike O'Sullivan's coach thinks other options should be considered. 

"In my view, and I've said it before about Andy Lee, I believe he's getting a little bit older, his metabolism is slowing down. I think Andy Lee should take time out, move up to super middleweight," he said.

"If the re-match doesn't happen, I would actually, if I were him, move up a weight and it'll take less out of him when he's trying to make weight for fights. The super middleweight division at the moment is wide open."
