One Championship: Angela Lee talks hard times during coronavirus lockdown – and why she’ll never talk trash
- ‘Unstoppable’ stays active but admits to struggles – ‘like the whole world, everything has been put on hold for us’
- Lee is set to defend atomweight belt against Denice Zamboanga ‘but with everything going on we just don’t know’
Angela Lee has over the past few weeks been reaching out to fans and fellow martial artists who are similarly self-isolated as the coronavirus continues to blight the globe.
In tough times, she says, even the smallest dose of cheer can help and the fact that One Championship’s atomweight queen has been able to lean on the help of her faithful hounds in a series of “stay-at-home” workout clips seems to have struck a chord globally.
“Everything is up in the air for us and, like the whole world, everything has been put on hold,” says Lee from her family home in Hawaii. “But we’re still active. We’re always that way. We’re fortunate enough that we can do workouts at home. We still workout with each other. Plus, I’ve tried to involve people with my clips. They love it, especially when there are dogs involved. It’s just me trying to keep things positive and to reach out.”
So there’s a least a little light in dark times but there has also been plenty of pause for reflection for the 23-year-old star as she looks towards whatever the future holds while taking in lessons from 12 months that, let’s say, had their moments.
