Ra'eese Aleem (/rɑːˈiːs/; born June 21, 1990) is an American professional boxer.

Professional career

Aleem turned professional in 2011, with a second-round technical knockout of Dewaun Bell. He amassed a 15–0 record before making his TV debut on February 14, 2020, with a third-round stoppage victory against Saul Eduardo Hernandez.[1] On August 1, 2020, he notched a tenth-round technical knockout of Marcus Bates.[2] Bates was a last minute replacement for Aleem when his original opponent Tramaine Williams pulled out to be elevated to the main event as Stephen Fulton's substitute when he was sick with COVID-19.[3]

Aleem was scheduled to face Vic Pasillas for the WBA interim super-bantamweight title on January 23, 2021, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Montville, Connecticut.[4] He won the fight by an eleventh-round technical knockout, after knocking Pasillas down in rounds two, six, nine and once in round eleven.[5]

Aleem was scheduled to fight Eduardo Baez for the NABO super-bantamweight title at Park MGM in Paradise, Nevada on November 27, 2021.[6] He won by majority decision.[7]

On September 4, 2022, at Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, California, he successfully defended the title with a unanimous decision win over Mike Plania.[8][9]

Aleem suffered the first defeat of his professional career when he lost to Sam Goodman via split decision at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre on the Gold Coast in Australia on June 17, 2023.[10][11]

In an eliminator for a shot at the IBF featherweight title, he defeated the previously unbeaten Mikito Nakano by unanimous decision at Toyota Arena in Tokyo, Japan, on November 24, 2025.[12][13]

Aleem was scheduled to challenge IBF featherweight champion Angelo Leo at the Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia, on May 9, 2026.[14] However, the fight was cancelled when he failed to make the required weight.[15][16]
