Ben Woolliss Set for Sky Sports Return Following Impressive ONE Debut
British fighter Ben Woolliss is scheduled to make his return to the ring on May 16, with his match being broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing bout at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand. This will be Woolliss's second outing under the ONE Championship banner, following his remarkable debut last month. In his first match, Woolliss secured a stunning one-round stoppage victory over former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker, despite having only nine days' notice. Lineker, known for his formidable punching power, was taken down by Woolliss's devastating low kicks. Woolliss, who hails from Grimsby, has overcome significant health issues in recent years and is now looking to build on his impressive debut. His opponent, Petchfergus, is a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, making for a compelling matchup. The event will also feature a main card title defence, as Tang Kai puts his ONE featherweight MMA world title on the line against Shamil Gasanov. Gasanov boasts an impressive record, with a strong stand-up game and grappling expertise, making him a formidable challenger for Kai.
