CHICAGO, IL - Former Notre Boxing Captain and 2009 Chicago Golden Gloves Champion Mike Lee held an open workout for the local media and fans at JABB Boxing Gym in Chicago on Wednesday afternoon.


 
Along with trainer Ronnie Shields, Lee looked in terrific shape and very sharp as he went through an hour long, spirited training session just three days prior to his pro debut set for this Saturday night, May 29th at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago .


 
“We’ve put in the work for the last four months in Houston and Ronnie has done a terrific job preparing me for this. I’m in the best shape of my life and can’t wait to get in the ring and put on a great performance on Saturday night” said a very enthusiastic Lee.


 
Lee will face Emmitt Woods in a scheduled four rounder in one of the feature bout at TOP RANK LIVE.
