Super-lightweight contender Brandun Lee has signed for Queensberry Promotions.
The Californian has not boxed since a 10-round decision win over Mexico’s Pedro Campa in Carson in April 2023.
Lee, a native of La Quinta, joins Nathan Lugo as an American to join the ranks of the promotional entity headed by International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee and promoter Frank Warren.
Lee, 28-0 (23 KOs) and 25 years old, was an experienced amateur and turned professional in 2017. He has since scored 11 first-round knockouts, although he’s gone the distance over 10 rounds in three of his past four fights.
BoxingScene understands he could make his Queensberry debut on the undercard at London’s O2 Arena on July 27, when heavyweights Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora fight, but his promoters are yet to confirm his inclusion.
“I am thrilled to have signed with Queensberry Promotions,” said Lee. “I’m looking to start a wonderful new campaign with the Warrens and Queensberry as a whole this summer. I know they will provide me with great opportunities in the future. My team is now complete and I’m ready for war.”
“I’ve followed Brandun since the youth amateurs,” said his manager David McWater. “He has always had the potential to be not just great American talent, but a worldwide star. Queensberry Promotions are the best at doing just that. Developing star fighters from all over the world.
“In Brandun, Queensberry now represents a boxer that is still only 25 years young, but at the same time, might only be a couple fights away from a world-title opportunity. Something I know we will all work towards in short order.”
Warren said: “Brandun is an exceptional talent in the super-lightweight division, who will now be given the platform to showcase himself and perform in the big fights and occasions that his talent deserves.
“His record so far speaks for itself and his pedigree is obvious, so we will now provide him with every opportunity and position him for major title challenges, which I am certain he will capitalise on.
“I am looking forward to working in tandem with Brandun and his team towards a highly successful future.”
