March 25th 2021-Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan Gonte Lee (2-0-1, 1) vs Aso Ishiwaki (8-3-1, 6) Earlier today at Korakuen Hall we saw former amateur standout Gonte Lee [李 健太] take on the popular Aso Ishiwaki [石脇麻生] in a brilliant match up between talented technical boxer and exciting pressure fighter. For Lee this was his first bout in well over a year whilst Ishiwaki was looking to bounce back from a December loss to Jin Sasaki in a Japanese Youth title bout. It's worth noting that Lee is listed as being "Kuntae Lee" by Teiken and the graphic on screen for him here is "Gonte Ri". We think the reason for this is due to him having a Korean name that doesn't quite translate into English properly.
