Ben Woolliss Set for Sky Sports Return After Electrifying ONE Debut

Following his impressive 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 Thailand's Lumpinee Stadium, which will be aired on Sky Sports in the early hours of May 16. This upcoming bout on ONE Fight Night 43 will see Woolliss pitted against a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, Petchfergus. Despite struggling with long-term health issues, Woolliss signed with ONE and made his promotional debut last month. He accepted his first assignment on short notice, just nine days prior, and went on to achieve a spectacular one-round stoppage victory over former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing clash. Lineker is known for his formidable punching power, but Woolliss secured the win with damaging low kicks. The main event on May 16 will feature Chinese star Tang Kai as he defends his ONE featherweight MMA world title against Shamil 'The Cobra' Gasanov. Tang Kai has dominated the featherweight MMA division, while Gasanov boasts a near-flawless record, leveraging his stand-up skills, grappling, and submission expertise to overpower his opponents. Having avenged his only career loss, 'The Cobra' is now poised to strike and may prove unbeatable.
