ONE Championship: Angela Lee, Xiong Jingnan get physical at weigh-ins; Superbon out of title fight
- Angela Lee shoves Xiong Jingnan ahead of Saturday’s ONE on Prime Video 2 main event title fight in Singapore
- Dangkongfah and Jihin Radzuan agree catchweights after failing hydration tests again as featherweight kickboxing champ Superbon confirms withdrawal
Angela Lee and Xiong Jingnan got physical at Friday’s ONE on Prime Video 2 ceremonial weigh-ins, as Superbon Singha Mawynn apologised after being ruled out of this weekend’s co-main event.
When the two fighters met face to face on stage, atomweight champ Lee barged her shoulder into her 34-year-old Chinese opponent’s sternum.
“The Panda” said “no problem, no problem” and then put her index finger to her lips and made a shushing sound.
“Unstoppable” Lee is looking to become a two-division champion with victory in Saturday’s trilogy fight. The pair are tied with one win apiece, after two fifth-round finishes in Tokyo in 2019.
“I don’t need the hype. I don’t need to talk about myself in the third person or say my name and my title out loud for everyone to hear,” Lee wrote in an Instagram post later on Friday.
“I know who I am and what I’m here to do. Tomorrow there will be no more smiles ... Until my hand is raised of course.”
“New belt looks glorious. I will be brining it home tomorrow,” Xiong wrote in her own Instagram post.
