Tiffany Teo recently spoke to ONE Championship about the highly anticipated ONE on Prime Video 2 headliner between strawweight world champion Xiong Jing Nan and atomweight queen Angela Lee:
Tiffany Teo continued her thoughts on the long-awaited trilogy bout:
The two will square off nearly three years after their last encounter in 2019. As it stands, both women have a victory over the other.
Tiffany Teo doesn’t understand how Angela Lee got a shot at the strawweight title
When Angela Lee and Xiong Jing Nan meet for the third time at ONE on Prime Video 2, it will be with Xiong’s strawweight world championship on the line. This will give Lee the opportunity to become a two-division world champion.
While the bout has garnered the interest of fans and fellow fighters alike, Tiffany Teo is not convinced that they should be fighting for the strawweight strap:
Angela Lee’s only two contests in the strawweight division did not go her way. She lost back-to-back fights for the first time in her career to Xiong Jing Nan and Michelle Nicolini in 2019.
However, Lee did score a win over ‘The Panda’ that was contested in the atomweight division, leaving the series tied 1-1. Since Lee was the last to defend her title, it does make sense for their trilogy bout to be contested at strawweight.
