Over a month after the death of mixed martial arts fighter Victoria Lee, elder sister Angela paid a touching tribute to her 18-year-old sibling in an Instagram post on Monday.
One Championship atomweight world champions Angela wrote: “Sometimes in life there are losses. Losses that can never really be replaced. “Losing you has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to live with. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I wasn’t ready to let you leave. I would give anything for just one more day, just one more second.”Victoria’s death in Hawaii on Boxing Day was announced by Angela on Jan 7 – the cause of death was not stated.
Touted as one of the most promising MMA athletes in the world, the 18-year-old made her debut at One’s Fists of Fury event at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in February 2021. The atomweight fighter had been scheduled to fight India’s Zeba Bano at the One Fight Night 6 on Jan 14, and the bout was cancelled after news of her death.
Her family have also since closed their United MMA Hawaii Gym in Waipahu. The outfit was set up in 2013 by parents, Singaporean Ken and his South Korean-Canadian wife Jewelz, to groom MMA athletes and offered classes for adults and children in MMA and Brazilian jiu-jitusu.
