ONE Championship atomweight champion Angela Lee was involved in a car crash and will miss her 24 November fight in Singapore.
In a Facebook post put up on 8 November, ONE Championship Founder and Chairman Chatri Siyodtong said: “ONE Atomweight World Champion Angela Lee got into a terrible car accident yesterday with her car flipping over 5-6x according to the police.
“She was driving to her morning training at the gym when she fell asleep. Miraculously, she survived with only a concussion, some minor burns, and a banged up body.
“If she was not wearing a seatbelt, it would have most certainly been a different story. I saw photos of the damaged car, and it was a complete wreck.
“Angela will not be competing on November 24. We are all blessed and relieved that Angela will make a full recovery. Please join me in sending love, prayers, and positive energy to Angela and her family.”
Lee was due to challenge against Mei Yamaguchi at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 24 November.
