I’m finding a way to blend it all together.” I try to instill in my boxers what I learned from Emanuel Steward at the Kronk Gym, and the wealth of experience I have as a fighter going from London to Ireland, European and then Olympic competitions, and then working with Adam Booth. “It’s not essential that he’s working with a world champion, but it definitely helps. He is one of the most talented boxers in the world. He’s confident and something very special. He’s so talented and I see that every day I train him. I thought, if I was ever to get involved as a coach, this is the kid I want to do it with. Fast forward to the next time I saw Paddy I was blown away with what I was seeing, but I wasn’t involved then as a trainer. “The first time I saw him was in the gym when my brother, Roger, told me about Paddy and his younger brother Eddie. “I first met Paddy when he was a really young kid,” Lee remembered. Not only does Lee believe Paddy is the top boxing prospect in Ireland, but he also feels that Donovan is one of the top boxing prospects in the entire world. Lee is well traveled having also been a 2004 Olympian, later trained by Hall of Famer Emanuel Steward and Adam Booth. Lee (35-3-1, 24 KOs), whose cousin is unbeaten lineal and reigning World Boxing Council (WBA) World Heavyweight Champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs), not only trains Paddy, he also co-manages him along with New York-based attorney Keith Sullivan.
