"I'll be supporting him no matter what" - Christian Lee promises to be in brother Adrian's corner throughout his career
It has been a long time since Christian Lee has been in and around a ONE Championship fight week. His last fight came all the way back in November 2022 at ONE on Prime Video 4 , Lee secured his biggest win to date.
Following Victoria Lee's tragic passing in December 2022, the Lee siblings understandably opted to sit out the entire 2023.
Following Angela's retirement, the first of the family to step foot inside the circle following the passing of Victoria was her younger brother, Adrian. He made his professional debut this past weekend at ONE 167, where a second-round submission earned him his first win under the ONE Championship banner.
Throughout his fighting career so far, Adrian's big brother Christian has always been in his corner or there to train with him and give him advice.
Christian told Sportskeeda MMA during fight week that this is never going to change as far as he is concerned:
"Definitely I'll be coaching my brother throughout his whole career, there's no reason I won't be in his corner for any of his fights, so I'll be supporting him no matter what."

Christian Lee has high hopes for his brother
Christian Lee and his siblings have achieved incomparable levels of success in ONE Championship.
Adrian is the latest to enter that fold but his brother believes that he can replicate these kinds of accomplishments considering where he is right now.
For years, Christian would speak about Adrian coming through the amateur ranks but on June 7, ONE fans got their first proper look at what he is capable of.
Unsurprisingly, given his surname, he looks like the real deal inside the circle.
