“I will whisper to his ear” - Kiamrian Abbasov will force Christian Lee to rethink his career path

ONE welterweight world champion 'Brazen' Kiamrian Abbasov plans on stopping 'The Warrior' Christian Lee's dreams of capturing the welterweight throne and becoming a two-division world titleholder.

Singaporean-American Lee is the reigning king of the lightweight division. At ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18 (US primetime), he will look to add the welterweight crown to his mantle. Standing in his way will be the welterweight world titleholder Abbasov.

When the two world champions clash this weekend, Abbasov intends on delivering a special message to Lee inside the circle. While speaking to ONE, the Russian stated:

"I will whisper to his ear during the fight: ‘Stay in your lightweight division.’"

Abbasov added that while 'The Warrior' is a talented fighter, he will simply not be able to compete at welterweight:

"Christian is a good opponent. He is a good, explosive fighter, but I know his weaknesses and I am not a guy from his division – the rules are different here.”

Kiamrian Abbasov shares his thoughts on welterweight Christian Lee

At ONE on Prime Video 4, ONE lightweight world champion Christian Lee will face the welterweight king Kiamrian Abbasov. Lee will look to make history on November 18 as a two-division world champion in ONE.

'The Warrior' is adding on muscle to compete more effectively in the higher weight classes. Abbasov feels all that won't matter in the circle when they meet:

“It doesn’t matter whether [Lee is] smaller or bigger. I always try to train with strong opponents in the gym to be ready for any outcome in the fight. Because he may be smaller in weight but physically stronger. Sometimes there’s a solid guy, you look at him, and he is so heavy, heavyweight, but he is physically weak, so I work with physically strong opponents in the gym to be ready for anything.”

Kiamrian Abbasov and Christian Lee will have their showdown for the welterweight throne at ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18. The historic fight can be enjoyed live and is free for all Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America.
