World ranked #9 by the International Boxing Federation and #14 by the World Boxing Association, the 28-year-old Commey has compiled a sterling record of

21-0-0 with 19KO’s, since turning professional just four years ago.

Commey has been dominant in his first two starts in 2015, a fourth round knockout of Mikheil Avakyan on February 7th in Denmark, followed by a seventh round stoppage of Thompson Mokwana in South Africa on March 14th.

This will be Commey’s first appearance in the United States.

The 27-year-old Mamadjonov, fighting for the first time in 2015, sports a record of 17-1-0 with 11 knockouts while riding a six-bout winning streak against top opposition.

This will be Mamadjonov’s second clash in Las Vegas, having won the WBA International Lightweight Title on April 12, 2013 with a ninth round stoppage over Angelo Santana.

Graduating from the University of Notre Dame at the top of his class with a degree in finance, Mike Lee has built a record of 14-0-0 with eight knockouts while serving as a spokesman and being featured in numerous national commercials for Subway and Under Armour.

Currently training in San Diego, California with former heavyweight world champion CHRIS BYRD, Lee is coming off the most dominant victory of his career, a devastating second round knockout of Gary Tapusoa in New York City on February 14 where he also joined the CBS Sports Network telecast team for the remaining bouts.

Further details on Lee’s fight will be announced shortly.

All public fight week events will be hosted on the 3rd Street Stage on Fremont Street Experience including media workouts, the final press conference and the official public weigh-in.
