Ben Woolliss Set for Sky Sports Return After Electrifying ONE Debut

Following his remarkable ONE Championship debut, British fighter Ben Woolliss is poised to make his return on May 16, broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand, which will air on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday, May 16. This bout, part of ONE Fight Night 43, pits Woolliss against a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion. Despite battling long-term health issues, Woolliss signed with ONE and made his debut last month, taking on former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing contest on just nine days' notice. Woolliss achieved a stunning one-round stoppage victory over Lineker, known for his formidable punching power, by landing damaging low kicks. The main event on May 16 features Chinese star Tang Kai defending his ONE featherweight MMA world title against Shamil "The Cobra" Gasanov. Tang Kai has been unbeatable in his featherweight MMA career, but Gasanov boasts a near-perfect record, utilizing his potent stand-up skills, grappling prowess, and submission expertise to overwhelm opponents. After avenging his only career loss, Gasanov is ready to make his move and may prove unstoppable.
