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 make his return on May 16, broadcasting live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at Thailand's Lumpinee Stadium, which will air live on Sky Sports in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 16. His opponent, a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, will provide a challenging test for Woolliss. Having overcome long-term health issues, Woolliss signed with ONE and made his promotional debut just last month. On short notice, he accepted his first assignment and secured a stunning one-round stoppage victory over former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing bout. Lineker, known for his formidable punching power, was defeated by Woolliss's 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 dominated the featherweight MMA division, but Gasanov boasts a near-perfect record, leveraging his powerful stand-up skills, grappling expertise, and submissions to overwhelm opponents. After avenging his sole career loss, Gasanov is poised to make a significant impact.
