06 August 2018 – Shanghai, China: The largest global sports media
property in Asian history, ONE Championship™ (ONE), has just announced the
complete card for “ONE: Beyond the Horizon,” which is set for September 8, 2018
at the Baoshan Arena in Shanghai, China. It will feature 10 bouts including a
match between Edward “The Ferocious” Kelly, 34, of the Philippines and Christian
“The Warrior” Lee, 20, of Singapore.
Kelly and Lee will compete in the featherweight division at “ONE: Beyond
the Horizon.” The latter is the younger brother of reigning ONE Women’s
Atomweight World Champion Angela “Unstoppable” Lee, 22.
Christian Lee
Christian is a former Pankration World Champion. He has been competing
in ONE Championship since 2015 and currently holds a professional mixed martial
arts record of 9 wins and 2 losses.
In Christian’s most recent bout, he challenged Martin “The Situ-Asian” Nguyen,
29, of Australia and Vietnam for the ONE Featherweight World Championship but
failed to capture the title. The Vietnamese-Australian two-division world champion
won via split decision.
Like Christian, Kelly also lost in his most recent bout. The Team Lakay
fighter was knocked out by former ONE Featherweight World Champion Narantungalag
“Tungaa” Jadambaa, 42, of Mongolia.
Edward Kelly
Alongside the likes of former ONE Championship world champions Eduard “Landslide”
Folayang, 34, and Honorio “The Rock” Banario, 28, Kelly trains at the famed

record, Kelly has emerged as a contender in his own right.
Kelly owns the second-fastest knockout in ONE Championship’s featherweight
