British fighter Ben Woolliss is gearing up for his second outing with ONE Championship, scheduled to take place on May 16 and 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 test for Woolliss, as Petchfergus is a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion. Despite battling health issues, Woolliss made a remarkable promotional debut last month, defeating former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing bout.
Lineker, known for his formidable punching power, was taken down by Woolliss in a stunning one-round stoppage, courtesy of debilitating low kicks. The main event on May 16 will feature Chinese star Tang Kai defending his ONE featherweight MMA world title against Shamil Gasanov, who boasts a nearly flawless record and a versatile skillset that includes powerful striking, grappling, and submission expertise.
