ONE Championship: Christian Lee says Angela Lee ‘in best shape of her life’, predicts Victoria Lee will move to strawweight
- Former ONE lightweight champion sees his elder sister submitting Stamp Fairtex on her return, and says ‘she’s more determined than I’ve seen in a very long time’
- ‘The Warrior’ also sees a switch in weight class for his younger sister – ‘Angela’s got the belt, and Victoria has a slightly bigger frame’
ONE Championship atomweight queen Angela Lee is in the best shape of her life, according to her younger brother and fellow fighter Christian.
Angela, 25, will return from a lay-off of more than two years when she attempts to defend her title against Thailand’s Stamp Fairtex in the main event of the stacked ONE X card on March 26. The bout will be her first since she became a mother last April.
There is widespread speculation as to how Angela (10-2) will look in her long-awaited return to the ONE Circle. According to the 23-year-old Christian (15-4), who trains alongside the atomweight champ in Hawai’i, her doubters are in for a rude awakening.
“Angela, since she started training [again], she’s really changed her approach to fighting entirely from what I can see,” Christian told the Post. “She’s more driven, more determined than I’ve seen in a very long time. She’s putting in so much work right now.”
“Physically, she’s in the best shape of her life,” he added. “We’ve just got so many good bodies in the room for her to train with. I’m really happy to see her progress so far and I know that when the time comes, when the cage door shuts, she’s going to be more than ready for the opponent in front of her.”
