E2 reaction with Hoffman-like steric hindrance exception?

My question is where the double bond would go. I'm thinking that because of the bulkiness of the other carbons, the size of the leaving group(Ts) and if a bulky base is used that the double bond will go to the lone carbon.

ChemSketch says this is 1-methyl-2-phenoxycyclohexyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate
the MOL file

Hopefully someone could shed some light?
