‘We’re a team, not rivals’ – sibling bond pushes Christian Lee to match sister Angela Lee’s success
Brother of One Championship atomweight titleholder shares her drive to be the best as he returns to the cage at Kings of Destiny card in Manila
The spotlight was on Angela Lee as she prepared to defend her ONE Championship atomweight world title back in March but it was impossible not to notice the young man who followed her into the cage.
Christian Lee was there in support but was bouncing on his heels and looking for all the world like it was him who was about to enter the fray.
Those sat beside the cage could hear the 18-year-old cheering his sister on from his corner, and passing on advice with father Ken in between rounds.
It seemed like he was wearing every blow, too, and when Angela Lee battered Jenny Huang into submission and her armed was raised in victory, Christian rushed to her side to share the glory.
“We’re always there for each other and to watch her win was a thrill for all of us,” says Lee.
Now it’s his turn.
