Ben Woolliss Set for Sky Sports Return Following Impressive ONE Debut
British martial artist Ben Woolliss is slated to make his highly anticipated return to the ring on May 16, with the event broadcasting live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a thrilling bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand. This upcoming bout on ONE Fight Night 43 will see Woolliss pitted against a formidable opponent, a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion. Having overcome long-term health issues, Woolliss recently made his promotional debut with ONE and is now preparing to take on Petchfergus. His debut was nothing short of spectacular, as he secured a stunning one-round stoppage victory over former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker on just nine days' notice. Lineker, known for his formidable punching power, was defeated by Woolliss's clever use of low kicks. The main event of the evening will feature Chinese star Tang Kai as he defends his ONE featherweight MMA world title against the skilled Shamil "The Cobra" Gasanov. With an impressive record, Gasanov is poised to pose a significant challenge to Kai, having recently avenged his only career loss and boasting a powerful stand-up game and grappling expertise.
