Lee welcomed the appointment of Prin.

"I'd like to take a moment to thank all the candidates who submitted applications for this position, and congratulate Jonathan Prin for his selection," Lee said.

"I have already had the pleasure of speaking with JP, and he is fired up about working with the national office staff and representing the USA Boxing membership on the Board of Directors.

"I think I can speak for our entire Board by saying that we are all excited about our new colleague's selection and we are looking forward to working with him."

USA Boxing executive director Mike McAtee said Prin's experience will help to push the organisation forward in the coming years.

"USA Boxing is excited to have Jonathan be part of our Board of Directors," said McAtee.

"Prin's experiences inside and outside the ring will be a great addition to our Board, and we know he will help push USA Boxing forward during this term."
