I was a professional fighter for 8 years and had 14 professional fights. I was lucky to box under a few different pro coaches, and train with and alongside professional champions from domestic, to European, and right up to world level. I learned a lot from my time in John Breens well respected gym in Belfast with him and his assistant Eamonn Magee, both of whom are now still good friends. I am now working full time boxing coach and doing my professional apprenticeship under the guidance and trutelage of Brother Rob Butler.
I also do some personal training and specialise in clients who are competitive boxers or are really interested to learn about boxing. My passions are boxing, music, and people. I used to say the only two things that ever made sense to me were fighting and helping people. My fighting days are long over so I now like like helping people; to fight, to learn about the benefits of exercise, or just to lose weight and feel good. |

Lee McMillan:
Started boxing at the age of 9 years old down at Bridge Road in Liverpool, really enjoyed the boxing. Where as i was out having a few amateur fights at the age of 11 and 12 then turned 13 and fell really ill with the desease Encephalitis which then that cause stopped me from not being able to no longer box.
Since then always stuck to the positive and never wanted to give in the boxing so my idea was to keep in with the coaching side of things which I also really enjoy, I am also a qualified gym instructor.. |
