Anatomy of a Fighter: Angela Lee’s return

But a recent documentary, released by Anatomy of a Fighter, captures this process with excellence.

“The comeback story of ‘Unstoppable’ Angela Lee” – which dropped on Wednesday, September 27 – follows the Singaporean-American athlete as she prepares for her return to action against Stamp Fairtex at ONE X this past March, following a two-and-a-half-year break from competition.

Raising a young daughter while getting ready for a World Title defense is no easy task, and throughout the documentary, there are short interviews with her husband, Bruno Pucci, brother, Christian Lee, and father, Ken Lee, that help to highlight just how the “Mom-Champ” does it.

The fight, which broadcasts on U.S. primetime this Friday, September 30, will be the third time she has faced the Chinese superstar, and the second time she has challenged her for the strawweight gold after falling short in her first attempt back in March 2019.
