ONE Championship’s CEO, Chatri Sityodtong, issued a statement on social media:
I am heartbroken by Victoria Lee’s passing.
I first met Victoria when she was 11 years old. I watched her blossom over the years as a martial artist and a human being. I always remember thinking how wise, thoughtful, and selfless she was beyond her years.
Of course, she was an extraordinary martial arts prodigy even back then, but I could see that she was so much more than that.Victoria had the purest heart of gold and a brilliant mind. She looked after others before herself. She wanted to use her life to help the world. I will always remember Victoria for the beautiful and precious soul that she was.
May you rest in peace, Victoria. We will all miss you.
She made her ONE Championship debut back in February 2021, when she tapped out Sunisa Srisan in the second round; and in her most recent fight, she beat Victoria Souza by TKO.
