The picture posted by the fan page on Facebook was a still from an iconic fight scene in Enter The Dragon showing the two legends bare-chested. Lee never had a direct beef with Yeung in the story, hence, they never fought each other on camera.

The story goes that Yeung never got a chance to fight Lee in the film, but he wanted to test Lee’s strength. So, he once asked the master for a sparring showdown after the pack-up. As they began discussing the conditions of the fight, they got into a heated debate. Eventually, it led the two legends into a fight. Although Yeung grabbed Lee by his bulky shoulders, Lee easily came out of it. After this, the Little Phoenix immediately began punching Yeung in his chest. Apparently, the master hit him in his solar plexus which made it impossible for the bodybuilder to resist Lee’s fighting prowess. It shell-shocked him and he gave up eventually.

That incident made Yeung respect the master’s strength in the several interviews he later appeared in. Moreover, in one of the media interactions, Yeung revealed an interesting story about Bruce Lee. 

Bruce Lee was once challenged into a fight by an extra

In a resurfaced interview, Bolo Yeung revealed Bruce Lee’s persona. He stated that although he had impeccable strength, he never took advantage of it off-camera. However, since Lee’s fighting prowess was so fascinating, he was often challenged by extras to fight them. 

Yeung stated, “Bruce didn’t want to fight but he felt he was forced to”. Hence, when the fight began, it did not last long. All that Lee had to do was kick him in his head which concluded the fight.  “Bruce was too fast”, Yeung added. That incident also impressed the bodybuilder to a great extent about the master’s strength.
