WIN A PAIR OF SIGNED GLOVES

ACADEMICS, ATHLETICS AND PHILANTHROPY

With a 21-1 professional record that includes 11 KO’s, Mike Lee is a bright, hardworking quick learning, power-punching professional boxer with a deep motivation to be a champion.

Lee, 29, was born in Chicago, Ill., on June 17, 1987. He started his athletic career at linebacker on the school football team at Benet Academy in Wheaton, Ill., and took up boxing the summer following his senior year of high school. Lee first stepped into the ring as a competitive boxer at his dream school, the University of Notre Dame, after transferring from the University of Missouri following his freshman year. While at Notre Dame, Lee was a three-time Bengal Bouts champion (a school tournament started by Knute Rockne, which raises money for the children of Bangladesh). In the summer of 2008, Lee spent 15 formative days in Bangladesh as part of the university’s Holy Cross Missions of Bangladesh – forever instilling him a desire to give back.
