BOXING legend Barry McGuigan feels there is every chance of Selby brothers Lee and Andrew holding world titles at the same time during the next year.

IBF featherweight king Lee has more global prizes in his sights and McGuigan says a unification bout with his Cyclone Promotions star Carl Frampton is one “we would love to have”.

Meanwhile, McGuigan insists Andrew, who goes for the British flyweight strap on May 14, is not far off challenging the best in the world in his division.

“It’s a distinct possibility that you are going to have brothers as world champions in the next 12 months,” said the 55-year-old.

Lee, who trains at St Josephs with his brother, took his record to 23-1 at the O2 last month when getting off the canvas to beat Eric Hunter on points.

He will be a very interested spectator on July 30 when Frampton travels to New York to challenge Leo Santa Cruz for the Mexican’s WBA belt.

A meeting with the winner of that clash – McGuigan is obviously hoping it’s his man – would be just the ticket for the older of the two Selby siblings.

“The Selby fight is one that we would love to have,” added McGuigan, whose 12-month reign as WBA world featherweight champion came to an end 30 years ago this June.

“We’d love to go in there with the title and have a unification fight which would be really special.

“Fingers crossed for July 30, let’s get that out of the way, and then it would be great to have a unification fight.”

As for Andrew, the ‘Clones Cyclone’ continued: “I was looking at Roman Gonzalez, the world champion and one of the pound-for-pound greats at the moment, on television the other day, and I was thinking about how long it would be before Andrew could go in with guys like that.

“I’ll tell you, another half-dozen fights and I would have no hesitation in putting him in with the likes of Gonzalez, that’s the sort of standard this kid is at – he’s very, very talented.”

Beating Louis Norman at the Ice Arena Wales in Cardiff next Saturday would see Andrew become British champion after only five fights as a pro.

McGuigan’s Cyclone Promotions stages the show in the Welsh capital alongside Sanigar Events.
