Ben Woolliss Set for Sky Sports Return After Impressive ONE Championship Debut

Following his remarkable ONE Championship debut, Britain's Ben Woolliss is gearing up for his next fight, scheduled to take place on May 16, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. The event will be held at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand, with the live broadcast on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday, May 16. Woolliss is set to face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match. As a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, Petchfergus will provide a formidable challenge for Woolliss. The Grimsby native has overcome long-term health issues and recently made his promotional debut with ONE. His first assignment was on short notice, as he took on former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing bout. Despite Lineker's reputation for powerful punching, Woolliss secured a spectacular one-round stoppage victory, utilizing damaging low kicks to take down his opponent. The main event on May 16 features Chinese star Tang Kai, who will be defending his ONE featherweight MMA world title against Shamil "The Cobra" Gasanov. Tang Kai has dominated the featherweight MMA division, while Gasanov boasts a near-flawless record, leveraging his expertise in stand-up, grappling, and submissions to overwhelm his opponents. After avenging his sole career loss, Gasanov is poised to make a significant impact.
