“I'm trying to start getting back” - Christian Lee says he shut off social media for two years after sister’s untimely passing

Reigning and undisputed ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion 'The Warrior' Christian Lee of the United States and Singapore has spent the last two years away from the spotlight, and for good reason.

The 26-year-old double champ was distraught after the tragic and untimely death of younger sister 'The Prodigy' Victoria Lee in December of 2022 and decidedly stepped away from competition as part of his grieving process.

Now, the two-division king is ready to return, and he wants to reconnect with his fans on social media as well.

Speaking as a guest on The Brian Campbell Experience, Lee says he is slowly starting to get back into the swing of things, being a professional prizefighter.

'The Warrior' said:

"I've been basically off of social media for the last two years. I'm trying to start getting back on there, I know it's just part of it as a fighter. But for me, I never paid attention to social media, to who's calling me out. Just take one fight at a time, and whoever is ready, that's who I'm going to fight."

Fans won't have to wait long to see Christian Lee back in action as he makes his way back to the ONE Championship ring next weekend.
