In addition to taking home his third straight win, Lee also walked away with another $50,000 performance bonus, courtesy of ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong. He has now banked an extra 50k for all three of his fights under the ONE Championship banner.

Now the only question on everyone's mind is, what's next for Adrian Lee? How about a clash with social media sensation Jake Paul?


Adrian Lee wouldn't turn down a fight with 'The Problem Child' if the opportunity presented itself

Before Adrian Lee stepped inside the ring at ONE 172, he expressed interest in a potential fight with none other than Jake Paul, the YouTuber turned boxer who recently notched a win over the legendary 'Iron' Mike Tyson.

Speaking to Parry Punch, Lee made it clear that it's not a fight he's actively pursuing, but if the stars align, he'll gladly sign on the dotted line:

"After I watched that fight [with Mike Tyson], you know, I’m not chasing it or anything. It’s just like, you know, in the future, if the opportunity presents itself, I’d love to fight him. It’d be a great fight. Just give me two years, I’ll bulk up."
