Heavyweight Boxer Imani Lee Debuts as the New K-1 Contender
“Mayhem at the Mirage” Las Vegas will be THE event featuring Imani Lee and his imposing 290 lb, 6’ 5” body.
(PRWEB) August 6, 2005 -- The heavyweight boxing career of Imani Lee has
risen to the next level. At the “Mayhem at the Mirage” event, Imani Lee’s
participation in K-1 heavyweight will demonstrate his sensational strength and
athleticism. His 290 pound, 6’ 5” body is a force to be reckoned
with.
Calling the “Shark Tank” in Rancho Cucamonga, California his home,
Imani Lee trains with the owner, Eddy Millis. Eddy has developed Imani’s brute
force strength into a stealthy, fast moving power house. The legendary Eddy
Millis and others have trained Imani Lee to be a major contender for the K-1 top
title. Imani Lee’s strength, boxing skills and martial arts abilities will
deliver a powerful multi-skilled performance in his debut K-1 fights on August
13th.
As a result of intense training Imani is more than ready to take on
any of the fighters he will encounter on August 13th. Imani trained with an
array of professionals, namely Angelo Dundee in Florida; has sparred with
Riddick Bowe in Maryland, and James Toney & Michael Moorer at “Wild Card”
gym in Hollywood. In addition, Imani trains with Johnny Hunt, former “Muay Thai”
champ, and Steve Patramale at “Shadow Boxing” gym in Hollywood as well as
training at “Shark Tank” and “Gio’s Boxing Club” Burbank CA.
In Imani’s
corner at the Mirage will be his manager, Mike Hazard, his training support team
of Eddy Millis and Jaime Fletcher (Shark Tank) and Johnny Hunt.
If you
were to ask Imani Lee what he wants to bring with him to the Mirage in addition
to his championship athletic ability, he would get a little philosophical. Imani
Lee would tell you that he wants to bring respect and honor to the boxing and
fighting arenas that hasn’t been seen since the days of Ali, and Sugar Ray
Leonard.
Muhammad Ali prided himself on his appearance and ability to
communicate; as does Imani Lee. Imani also plans to give the viewers and
supporters of the sport something extra for their money. Imani’s charisma and
ability to connect with the audience is something he feels has been lacking from
the arena since the days of Ali and Sugar Ray. Imani also plans on becoming an
important role model to youngsters who will be watching and aspiring to a
positive force in the sport.
