Ben Woolliss Set for Sky Sports Return After Electrifying ONE Debut

Following his remarkable debut in ONE Championship, Britain's Ben Woolliss is slated to return to action on May 16, broadcasting live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand, which will air live on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday, May 16. This bout, part of ONE Fight Night 43, pits Woolliss against a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion, Petchfergus. Despite battling long-term health issues, Woolliss, hailing from Grimsby, recently signed with ONE and made his promotional debut last month. On just nine days' notice, he accepted his first assignment, taking on former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing clash. Lineker, known for his formidable punching power, was defeated by Woolliss in a spectacular one-round stoppage, courtesy of Woolliss's damaging low kicks. The main event on May 16 features Chinese star Tang Kai as he defends his ONE featherweight MMA world title for the second time against Shamil "The Cobra" Gasanov. Tang Kai has been on a tear, defeating every featherweight MMA opponent in his path. However, Gasanov boasts a near-flawless record, leveraging his powerful stand-up skills, grappling prowess, and submission expertise to overwhelm opponents. After avenging his sole career loss, "The Cobra" is poised to strike and may prove unstoppable.
