Ben Woolliss Set for Sky Sports Return After Impressive ONE Debut

Following his remarkable debut in ONE Championship, Britain's Ben Woolliss is slated to return to the ring on May 16, with the event being broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand. This highly anticipated bout will see Woolliss, who hails from Grimsby, pit his skills against a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion. Despite battling long-term health issues, Woolliss has made a remarkable comeback, signing with ONE and making his promotional debut just last month. In his first assignment, Woolliss secured a stunning one-round stoppage victory over former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker, leveraging his damaging low kicks to outmaneuver his opponent. The main event on May 16 will feature Chinese star Tang Kai as he defends his ONE featherweight MMA world title against the formidable Shamil Gasanov, who boasts a near-flawless record and an array of powerful stand-up and grappling skills.
