We would come down to Southern California and they would say, “We want the little Chinito” which meant they wanted the “Chinese” kid".Lee started boxing at around six years old, and had his first amateur fight at age eight. He won four Junior Golden Gloves Championships, the Junior Silver Gloves three times and the Junior PAL five times.
