THE SIDELINES : Andries Sets WBC Title Defense

The fight will be held at the open-air Memorial Drive tennis stadium and will be the first world title fight to be held in the South Australian state capital.
The pair originally were due to meet Dec. 7 at the same venue, but Detroit-based Andries withdrew from the bout after sustaining an eye injury in training.
