The chains come off as Angela Lee can’t wait to get back into the cage
ONE Championship atomweight world champion says the time has come to display her skills again against tough Taiwanese Jenny Huang, focused on ‘everything’ for Saturday night’s showdown
Patience can be a tough prospect when you’re young and you know the world is out there just waiting for you.
And learning to be patient has been about the only problem Angela Lee has faced in the almost 12 months since she captured the ONE Championship’s atomweight world title.
Well, the wait is almost over.
“It’s been a while since I fought in the cage,” the 20-year-old said on Wednesday. “I found out I’d be defending my title in January so I’ve had three months to prepare for this. In the beginning it took a while to get the gears shifted again but once I started my fight camp, all that training and strict dieting made the weight come off really easily. I’ve been telling everyone this is the best I’ve ever felt coming into a fight.”
Lee has arrived in Bangkok ready for her first title defence on Saturday, lining up as the headliner against Taiwan’s Jenny Huang on the ONE: Warrior Kingdom card at the Impact Arena.
