ONE’s atomweight MMA champion has not fought since September 2022, and has been contemplating retirement following the death of her 18-year-old sister and fellow fighter Victoria Lee last December.

But CEO and chairman Chatri revealed the 27-year-old Lee (1-3) is set to appear at ONE Fight Night 14 in Singapore on September 30, where Stamp Fairtex is set to face Ham Seo-hee for the interim title in her division.

“Stay tuned for her announcement on September 1, and she’ll be flying to Singapore for the atomweight world title fight and also making another big statement and doing an open Q&A live during that event,” Chatri told BJPenn.com during an appearance on Just Scrap Radio.

“I think fans around the world have a lot of questions and she wants to have everything answered come September.”

Chatri told the Post in June that Lee’s brother Christian Lee, ONE’s lightweight and welterweight MMA champion, will “one hundred per cent” be returning to action in 2024.
