Manager Matt Yanofsky of BYG LLC has announced that Diane Lee Fischer of Dee Lee Promotions has signed Jonathan “Reid Dawg” Reid 34-6 19 KO’s to a promotional contract. Reid, a former world title challenger and participant on the first season of The Contender was elated to sign after recent losses to tough fighters such as Muhammad Said, Ossie Duran, and Paul Smith. Reid said, “My thoughts on signing with Dee Lee are all positive, a promoter is what I have been missing. I believe this relationship will soon put me in the position to fight for a world title again. Without a promoter, it is hard to stay busy. Being with Dee Lee will be great for my career”! 

 

Fischer, a New Jersey Boxing Hall of Famer who promoted fights such as Wladimir Klitchko vs Ray Mercer and a woman’s card featuring six title fights believes Reid is exactly what she was looking for. Lee exclaimed, “I am very excited about the signing and making him part of our family. I am confident we can get Jonathan back on track after some of his recent struggles. I believe he can get another major fight after a couple of wins”. Reid will be returning August 24th at the New Alhambra in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he will be featured as the co-main event against an opponent to be named.
