Lee McGregor (born 24 December 1996) is a Scottish professional boxer who has held the Commonwealth bantamweight title since 2018 and the British bantamweight title since November 2019.
Professional career
McGregor made his professional debut on 11 November 2017 against Stefan Sashev at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland, winning via first-round technical knockout (TKO).[2]
On 23 June 2018, he defeated Goodluck Mrema at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow[3] via second-round TKO to capture the vacant IBF Youth bantamweight title.[4]
His next fight came on 13 October 2018, against former Olympian Thomas Essomba at the York Hall, London,[5] for the vacant Commonwealth bantamweight title. McGregor captured the title with a twelfth-round knockout (KO) in only his fifth professional bout.[6] Two fights later, he made the first defence of his Commonwealth title on 22 June 2019 against Scott Allan at the Emirates Arena, Glasgow. McGregor successfully defended his title via eighth-round TKO.[7]
On 16 November 2019, he beat Ukashir Farooq, retaining his Commonwealth bantamweight title and capturing Farooq's British title at the Emirates Arena, Glasgow, by controversial split decision (SD).[8][9][10]
