British fighter Ben Woolliss is gearing up for his second appearance in the ONE Championship, scheduled to take place on May 16, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woolliss will face off against Petchtanong Petchfergus in a bantamweight kickboxing match at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand.
This bout will be a significant challenge for Woolliss, as Petchfergus is a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion. Despite battling long-term health issues, Woolliss has made a remarkable start with ONE, having recently signed with the promotion and made his debut last month on short notice. In his debut, Woolliss secured a stunning one-round stoppage victory over former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker, showcasing his impressive skills. 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, who boasts a near-flawless record and a formidable combination of stand-up and grappling skills.
