"I'm just getting started" - Two-division king Christian Lee vows to scale greater heights in return to action

At just 25 years old, Christian Lee believes that he still has much more to give and accomplish before his career comes to an end.

It has been a difficult time for the two-weight world champion and his entire family as of late. Following the tragic passing of his younger sister Victoria at the end of 2022, Christian chose to take some time off whilst his sister Angela, who was the ONE atomweight MMA world champion, chose to retire.

For Christian, walking away for good wasn't an option, and with a comeback on the horizon, he's excited to get back to what he left behind.

The ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion was in attendance at ONE 167 this past weekend to corner his younger brother Adrian in his successful MMA debut.

On fight week, in an interview with Sportskeeda MMA, he spoke about being excited to step back inside the circle once again:

"Definitely. I don't feel that I'm near the end of my career, I do feel like I'm just getting started, and I'm going to take it one step at a time, but I'm very excited for what the company has for me next."

Greatness still awaits Christian Lee inside the circle

It may be easy for long-time ONE Championship fans to forget how young Christian Lee still is in his career.

Keen viewers have watched him grow up in front of their very eyes and evolve into a world-class competitor and extremely credible world champion.

In his last fight before the long break, Lee secured the rare feat of becoming a two-weight world champion with his fight of the year contender against Kiamrian Abbasov.

On his return, he will look to pick up where he left off by continuing to carve out his own path and legacy at just 25 years old.
