“I want to be a dad who lets my kids grow up and do what they love to do and what they want to do. But I'll tell you honestly, I really hope and pray that they do not want to fight. It's not something that I would want for my kids. That's all I have to say.”

Christian Lee admits "losing was not an option" with another baby on the way
In the build-up to the biggest fight of his career, 'The Warrior' spoke about his motivation.
At ONE on Prime Video 4, Lee produced the best win of his career to date, pulling off an incredible comeback to TKO Kiamrian Abbasov in the fourth round.
The Singaporean-American was beaten from pillar to post in the opening round, somehow surviving an onslaught from the defending champion. After Abbasov started to tire early on in trying to finish the challenger, Christian Lee was able to come back into the fight.
In his interview immediately after the inspired performance, Lee told Mitch Chilson that he had another baby on the way, which helped spur him on when he needed it most.
Elaborating on it during his post-fight interview, Lee said:
“To me, it's added motivation. There was already enough pressure and enough motivation, fighting to provide for my one daughter, and now with another baby on the way I got to do my job. As a dad, I got to provide for my family. So losing was not an option.”
