Lee McAllister (born 5 October 1982) is a Scottish former professional boxer. Nicknamed the "Aberdeen Assassin", McAllister held the Commonwealth lightweight and light-welterweight titles, the IBO International light-welterweight title, and challenged once each for the European and British titles.
In September 2003, McAllister gained a points win over Jeff Thomas for the British Masters light-welterweight title. The judges scored it by a margin 95–97. McAllister later captured the vacant Scottish Area title at the Beach Ballroom, Aberdeen on 27 June 2006, with a stoppage victory over Stuart Green in the 8th round. This was followed up with two decisive points wins at the same venue, the latter a 100–91 victory against former Ghanaian super-featherweight champ Ben Odamattey, for the vacant WBF International lightweight title.
Lee McAllister gained his first world championship on 6 October 2007, when he fought former super-featherweight Commonwealth Champion "Hot Property" Craig Docherty for the second-tier, lightly regarded WBU Lightweight title at the Beach Ballroom, Aberdeen. McAllister won the clash when Docherty's corner threw the towel in halfway through the ninth round. It seems Docherty suffered a potential perforated eardrum early in the fight. He gained his second WBU title at the Aberdeen Exhibition centre on 29 March 2008, when he defeated Mihaita Mutu for the vacant light-welterweight title.
When McAllister vacated his WBU titles and proceeded to sign with Glasgow-based promoter Tommy Gilmour, he was named number one contender to undefeated lightweight prospect John Murray for the British lightweight title. On 17 January at the Robin Park Centre in Wigan, England, Murray stopped McAllister in the 8th round.
After his loss to John Murray, promoter Tommy Gilmour, lined up some top European talent for McAllister to fight. McAllister defeated light welterweight French contender Abdoulaye Soukouna in a 79–73 points victory at the Beach Ballroom, Aberdeen on 14 March, hoping to earn another shot at a major title.
