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, airing on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday, May 16. His opponent, a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, will provide a challenging test for Woolliss.
Despite battling long-term health issues, Woolliss joined ONE and made his promotional debut last month. He accepted his first fight on short notice, defeating former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing bout with a stunning one-round stoppage. Lineker, known for his formidable punching power, was taken down 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 division, while Gasanov boasts a near-flawless record, utilizing his impressive stand-up skills, grappling, and submission expertise to overwhelm opponents. After avenging his only career loss, 'The Cobra' is poised to strike and may be unbeatable.
