Lee to defend ONE title in rematch vs. Yamaguchi on May 18

Angela Lee and Mei Yamaguchi will do in May what they were supposed to in November.

The undefeated ONE strawweight champion (billed as atomweight) will defend her title in a rematch with Yamaguchi on the promotion's May 18 show - dubbed Unstoppable Dreams - in Singapore, officials announced Wednesday following a recent report from The Straits Times.

Lee first bested Yamaguchi in a five-round grappling-heavy affair by unanimous decision in May 2016 to claim the then-vacant crown. The pair were scheduled to run it back this past November, only for Lee to pull out after suffering minor injuries in a car accident just a few weeks prior.

The 21-year-old has successfully defended her crown twice with stoppages of Jenny Huang and Istela Nunes, and only gone the distance against Yamaguchi in eight pro bouts, while the challenger is coming off a second-round submission of Huang and a unanimous decision over Gina Iniong, who fought her in Lee's stead.
