Olympic gold medalist Joseph Schooling will accompany ONE women's atomweight world champion Angela Lee when she enters the cage for the main event of ONE: Dynasty of Heroes on May 26 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Lee, the youngest world champion in MMA history, will defend her belt in a five-round bout against Brazil's Istela Nunes.

"I am very happy to be including Olympic gold medalist Joseph Schooling in my walkout as I defend my world title for the second time, this time right here in Singapore," Lee said in a statement.

"I can't wait to hear the roar of the crowd as their two world champions walk out to the cage, one holding the ONE Championship belt and the other with the Singapore national flag," she added.

Schooling revealed that he had been previously approached by ONE Championship to walk alongside his fellow Singaporean athletes, but could not do so due to school commitments.

"This time around, I definitely do not want to miss the chance to walk alongside Angela Lee," he said. "It will definitely be spectacular."

Schooling won a gold medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics, beating Michael Phelps in a record-setting performance in the 100-meter butterfly event.
