Ben Woolliss Set for Sky Sports Return After Electrifying ONE Debut
Following his remarkable debut in ONE Championship, Britain's Ben Woolliss is scheduled 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, which will air on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday, May 16. This upcoming bout at ONE Fight Night 43 will see Woolliss go head-to-head with a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion. Despite overcoming long-term health issues, Woolliss, hailing from Grimsby, recently signed with ONE and made his promotional debut just last month. On short notice of nine days, he took on former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing match, achieving a spectacular one-round stoppage victory with his damaging low kicks. The main event on May 16 features Chinese star Tang Kai as he defends his ONE featherweight MMA world title for the second time against Shamil "The Cobra" Gasanov. Tang Kai has dominated the featherweight MMA division, while Gasanov boasts a near-flawless record, leveraging his stand-up arsenal, grappling, and submission skills to outmaneuver his opponents. Having avenged his sole career loss, "The Cobra" is now poised to strike and may be unbeatable.
