Following his sensational ONE Championship debut, Britain's Ben Woolliss is gearing up for his next bout on May 16, broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss is scheduled to face Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand, which will be aired on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday, May 16.
His opponent, Petchfergus, is a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, making for a formidable challenge. Despite battling long-term health issues, Woolliss signed with ONE and made a remarkable promotional debut last month. He accepted his first assignment on short notice, taking on former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing contest.
Woolliss secured a stunning one-round stoppage victory over Lineker, utilizing damaging low kicks to take down his opponent. The main event on May 16 features Chinese star Tang Kai defending his ONE featherweight MMA world title against Shamil 'The Cobra' Gasanov. Kai has dominated the featherweight MMA division, while Gasanov boasts a near-flawless record, leveraging his stand-up skills, grappling, and submission expertise to overwhelm opponents. With his only career loss avenged, 'The Cobra' is poised to strike and may be unbeatable.
