Brandun Lee

Brandun Lee (born April 25, 1999) is an American professional boxer who held the IBO Inter-Continental super lightweight title in 2021.

Early life Lee was born and raised in Yuba City, California to a North Korean-born father and a Mexican mother. He lived there for about 12 years and then moved to the Coachella Valley. He attended La Quinta High School, and played soccer and ran track as a youngster. Lee faced racial prejudice growing up because of his Korean descent: he says other people would "stereotype a lot and look at my eyes and think Chinese", and "people thought that because I was Asian that I couldn't fight. We would come down to Southern California and they would say, “We want the little Chinito” which meant they wanted the “Chinese” kid". and had his first amateur fight at age eight. Lee amassed an impressive amateur record of 181–9.

Professional career Lee signed a professional contract with manager Cameron Dunkin in the fall of 2016 and debuted shortly afterward at age 17 the next year while he was still in high school.

After 30 successive wins, Lee suffered his first defeat as a professional against Cain Sandoval at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 28, 2026, going down by majority decision over 10 rounds with two of the ringside judges scoring the fight 97–93 and 96–94 for his opponent, while the third had it a 95–95 draw.

Personal life Lee was named after Bruce Lee's son, Brandon Lee, because his father was a fan of the martial artist. He has further plans to obtain a master's degree in business.

He is largely a monolingual English speaker, stating that he does not speak Korean. Regarding his Spanish proficiency, he admits that he "can't carry on a conversation but I can speak some words here and there".

His favorite Korean food is bulgogi.
