The Singaporean-American superstar last competed inside the Circle in a trilogy clash versus Xiong Jing Nan at ONE on Prime Video 2 in October last year. Before that fight, Angela Lee scored back-to-back title defenses over the Chinese superstar and current divisional queen Stamp Fairtex.

While fans will miss seeing her fight on the global stage of ONE Championship again, the division has moved on and there are plenty of possible fights that could unfold over the next 12 months.
