Lee, who began his sporting career as a lightweight, fought eight divisions higher and won the World Boxing Union heavyweight title. This WBU bout saw his opponent weigh in as four stones heavier.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

It is thought that he could fight him this year with it broadcast on Sky Sports. This will take place on 17 January 2009. This was postponed from the 29 November 2008 and the 13 December 08 because John Murray had to recover from a cut eye.
John Murray
The John Murray bout took place on 17 January 2009 at Robin Park Arena in Wigan, England and was broadcast on ITV4. It went to the eighth round when the referee, John Keane, stopped it since Lee was winded with a blow to the left of his body and had difficulty getting back to his feet. John Murray retained his British title.
Arek Malek
On 25 October 2008 he fought Arek Malek from Poland at the Beach Ballroom. He won the eight round bout with 80 to 71 points. This saw him more serious and very focused and for the first time did not dye his hair red.

Craig Docherty
He boxied Craig Docherty, a fellow Scot, on Saturday the 6 October for the vacant World Boxing Union (WBU) lightweight title. Craig Docherty had a record of 20 wins, 3 losses and one draw and was a former Commonwealth and British super featherweight.
Despite sustaining a broken nose early on he won on the evening which was a day after his 25th birthday. He beat Craig Docherty in the ninth round when the towel was thrown in the ring by hos opponent's team. This gives him a straight run of 18 pro wins.
He has vowed to become a three weight world champion by next winning the light welter and welter belts. He hopes to increase crowd capacity from 1200 to around 6000 at the AECC.
Ben Odamattey
On Saturday 26 June 2007 he won the International World Boxing Federation Champion Lightweight inter-Continental from Ben Odamattey of Ghana. He bravely fought him with an injured right hand from the second round and won 100 to 91. Wearing his trademark red shorts and sporting a shaven head with two red dyed sides he ended the night holding the WBF Lightweight and British Masters belts. He needed weeks of intensive physiotherapy to repair damaged muscles in his left shoulder.
This put him into the world top 15 at WBF.
He trains locally and in Sheffield at the Brendan Ingle Gym. Apex Tubulars sponsors him - look out for his VW Golf car with his name, nickname and the company logo embossed on the side. His manager was John Ingle. In 2008 he signed a three year deal with Tommy Gilmour.
His height is 5 feet and 9 inches.
He married fiancee Christine Neville in June 2006. Their first child, Liyah, was born in August 2008.
Fights have been held at the beach ballroom. This includes the memorable one with Stuart Green which lead to him proving he is the Aberdeen Assassin by winning the Scottish Pro Championship with an eighth round knout out. This made him the first Aberdonian Scottish pro champion in 50 years. His weight for this was 9 stone 8lbs and 10oz. He entered the ring to the tune of 500 Miles by The Proclaimers and proved that he's ready to go another 500 Miles and aim for the British Title with a fight hoped for with Lee Meager so that he can claim and wear the coveted Lonsdale Belt. No doubt he'll go on to claim another - perhaps the Commonwealth, European or even the World titles.
He is now ranked number five in the British boxers lightweight rankings. He is the youngest fighter in history to achieve this position. This puts him ahead of Kevin Bennett, the former Commonwealth champion and International Boxing Organisation world contender.
Not bad for a loon who was so injured in 2003 whilst holidaying in Crete that doctors feared he may never walk again when he fractured his pelvis in a motorbike road accident.
He has three brothers who are also boxers. They are David McAllister, Matty McAllister and Steven McAllister. Each brother is trained by their father David. He has also been the coach for Richard Muncie, James Ancliff and Darren Traynor.
