Angela Lee breezed through her first title defence (Picture: ONE)

ONE Championship have already lined up Angela Lee’s next fight just four days after her first title defence.

Lee dominated her last challenger Jenny Huang last Saturday and the ONE atomweight world champion barely had a finger laid on her on the way to a third-round TKO victory.

Having put on an impressive performance in Thailand, Lee has already been assigned her task in the ONE Championship cage and it will go down at ONE: Dynasty of Heroes on May 26 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Lee will face Istela Nunes of Brazil in what will be her second defence.




Nunes is a two-time Muay Thai world champion and is undefeated with a 6-0 professional MMA record.

In her last fight, Nunes beat the woman that Lee defeated for her title last year, Mei Yamaguchi. Nunes got the nod with a narrow split decision victory and now moves on to challenge Lee in her first ever world title fight.

The fast turnaround for Lee comes after a frustrating 2016 when after beating Yamaguchi she spent the rest of the year out of the sidelines injured.

Speaking today via ONE Championship, Lee stated that Nunes had better be ready on May 26 and that she was looking to put on a performance for the crowd in Singapore.

‘I said at the beginning of the year that I will make 2017 one to remember,’ Lee said.

‘I will keep my promise of being as active as I possibly can and I can’t wait to get right back in there. After my last fight, I showed everybody just how much I have improved over the last couple of months.

‘I’m ready to do it again. Istela Nunes had better be ready to go battle, because this time I’m defending the title on my turf.’

Having taken their careers to 6-0, both women will be looking for win number seven and to maintain their unbeaten runs on May 26 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
