Following his remarkable debut in ONE Championship, British fighter Ben Woolliss is scheduled to return to the ring on May 16, with the event broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand. This will be a challenging bout for Woolliss, as Petchfergus is a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion. Despite struggling with health issues in recent years, Woolliss has made a strong start with ONE, having signed with the promotion and made his debut last month.
His first match was against former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker, which Woolliss won with a spectacular one-round stoppage. The main event on May 16 will feature Chinese star Tang Kai defending his ONE featherweight MMA world title against Shamil "The Cobra" Gasanov, who boasts a near-flawless record and a well-rounded skillset.
