British bantamweight Ben Woolliss steps back into the cage on May 16, with the bout streamed live on Sky Sports from Thailand’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium. He will meet former ONE bantamweight kickboxing champion Petchtanong Petchfergus in a five‑round contest. Fans expect a tactical showdown.

Woolliss, a Grimsby native, signed with ONE Championship only last month after battling long‑term health setbacks. He answered a nine‑day call‑out to face former ONE MMA champion John Lineker in a featherweight kickboxing clash, delivering a one‑round stoppage by devastating low kicks. The win marked a spectacular debut and put him on the UK combat‑sports radar and earned widespread praise.

A victory over Petchfergus would cement Woolliss as Britain’s rising star in the bantamweight division and boost ONE’s push into the European market. Conversely, a loss could stall his momentum after an impressive debut. The outcome will also influence future matchmaking decisions for the promotion.
