The ONE Championship atomweight champion confirmed her younger singling’s death in Hawaii in an emotional Instagram post on January 7, saying “please check on your loved ones”.

Victoria, who went 3-0 in her brief MMA career, was set to return at January 14’s ONE Fight Night 6 card in Bangkok, Thailand, after 15 months out of action.

“Sometimes in life there are losses. Losses that can never really be replaced,” Angela wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday, quoting a writing by Bryan Anthonys titled Always In My Heart.

“Losing you has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to live with. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I wasn’t ready to let you leave. I would give anything for just one more day, just one more second.

 

“But I’ve learned to trust in unconditional love. Because the one profound thing about death is that love never dies. Some bonds cannot be broken. Because even though you’re not physically here, your heart is – it lives on within me.
