Following his impressive debut in the 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.
This will be a challenging fight for Woolliss, as Petchfergus is a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion. Despite battling health issues in recent years, Woolliss has made a remarkable start to his ONE Championship career, having signed with the organization and made his debut just last month. In his first bout, Woolliss took on former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker on short notice and secured a stunning one-round stoppage victory. His upcoming fight will be part of a card that features Tang Kai's second title defense against Shamil Gasanov in the main event.
Gasanov boasts an impressive record, with a strong stand-up game and grappling expertise, making him a formidable opponent for Kai.
