“Faster and more accurate in his strikes” - Jonathan Di Bella likes what he sees from Christian Lee

The ONE strawweight kickboxing world champion Jonathan Di Bella has a confident pick in the ONE on Prime Video 4 main event between 'The Warrior' Christian Lee and 'Brazen' Kiamrian Abbasov.

Speaking in an interview with ONE Championship, the Italian-Canadian Di Bella explained:

“I predict that Christian Lee will win by knockout or unanimous decision. I believe Christian is faster and more accurate in his strikes than his opponent.”

Headlining the event on November 18, the lightweight king Christian Lee will look to capture a second world title as he goes up in weight to challenge for the welterweight throne.

Standing in his way is the dangerous top-ranked welterweight, 'Brazen' Kiamrian Abbasov. This historic clash can be enjoyed live and for free on Prime Video for all Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America.

Jonathan Di Bella discusses what it takes to become a world champion

Earlier this year, Jonathan Di Bella defeated China's Zhang Peimian to capture the ONE strawweight kickboxing world championship. The world title he earned represents a lifetime of sacrifice.

While speaking to Tim Wheaton of Beyond Kick, Di Bella explained:

"It was hard but I had no choice. My dad said if you wanted to do this, you gotta do it. He took me traveling around the amateurs when I was a teenager... But I didn't have many - really I didn't have time for friends, I didn't have time for playing. I had just time for training and a bit of school."

Jonathan Di Bella sacrificed his youth to dedicate himself to perfecting kickboxing. It has paid off as he is now a reigning world titleholder in ONE Championship. However, it is not an easy path to gold. Di Bella offered advice to other fights who want to follow the same journey and continued:

"If you really, really, really want to become a champion, you got to put everything into it... You can't hang around with your friends as much. But you got to stay focused, stay hungry, and train like every day. Almost every day. And recover well. Just keep on working hard, hard, hard and nonstop, man. Keep dreaming, keep working. That's the life."
