Lee was set to fight Will Madrea on the Jake Paul/Hasim Rahman Jr bill, but Rahman failed to make weight and Showtime Boxing was forced to cancel the entire event.

I apologize to all the other fighters on the card, our partners, our team and the fans. https://t.co/0q6MxqG3XJ

Lee, (25-0, 22 KOs), wrapped up camp at the Diaz Brothers gym in Indio on Friday and was scheduled to leave in the next few days for New York.
