Lee Haskins (born 29 November 1983) from Lockleaze, Bristol has fought in the Flyweight, Super Flyweight and Bantamweight divisions. Lee is a former undefeated English and Commonwealth flyweight champion and the reigning British and Commonwealth Super Flyweight champion.

Haskins made his professional debut in March 2003 when he took on and defeated Ankar Miah stopping him in the first round at Ashton Gate the home of Bristol City Football Club. In his very next contest he defeated future British champion Chris Edwards this time over 6 rounds at the same venue. By the time he had compiled a winning ledger of 9-0 he challenged Delroy Spencer for the English Flyweight title and claimed the belt after Spencer retired after the third round of the 10 round contest. In February 2006 almost three years from his professional debut and now with a winning record of 13-0 Haskins challenged the Tanzanian fighter Anthony Mathias for the vacant Commonwealth Flyweight title. He stopped Mathias in the 2nd round at The Pavilions in Plymouth to pick up his second career title.

Following the victory over Mathias, Haskins returned to Bristol just two months later for his first defense against Former World Champion Zolile Mbityi from South Africa. Haskins won the fight on points over 12 rounds.  In October 2006 Haskins chose to move up a weight division and compete for the Commonwealth Bantamweight title. The current champion, another South African called Tshifhiwa Munyai had claimed the belt with an upset win over British Bantamweight title holder Martin Power. The fight which was Haskins debut at the York Hall in London ended in the 6th round with Munyai scoring a TKO.

Following the stoppage, Haskins next meaningful fight was almost a year later in September 2007 when he returned to the York Hall to take on new British Bantamweight holder Ian Napa. The fight once again proved to be a disappointment for Haskins retiring hurt with an arm injury in the 7th round. In March 2008 Haskins put the memory of defeat behind him by scoring a win over future British Champion Jamie McDonnell over 8 rounds in Barnsley. The win set him up for another crack at a title, this time against the British Super-Flyweight champion Andy Bell. The fight with Bell took place in November 2008 and ended with a unanimous points decision for the Bristolian. On 10 July 2009 Haskins defended his belt for the first time against Sheffield's serving soldier Ross Burkinshaw, winning with a comprehensive stoppage in the 4th round.

On December 11, 2009 Haskins added the Commonwealth Super Flyweight title to his collection after defeating the unbeaten Don Broadhurst on points in Newport, Wales and becoming a two weight Commonwealth champion.  Haskins claimed the belt having scored a unanimous points victory on all three judges scorecards.
