Lebanon's Abdallah Ondash to feature in main event at ONE Championship show this Friday
Lebanese Muay Thai star Abdallah Ondash is set to feature in the main event of ONE Championship show ONE Friday Fights 112 this Friday, June 13.
Ondash will face rising Thai star Singdomthong Nokjeanladkrabang in a difficult catchweight (57.6 Kg) Muay Thai contest inside Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
The talented 23-year-old Lebanese fighter has proven his courage and skillset in ONE Championship's weekly fight series ONE Friday Fights, picking up a 5-1 record.
Ondash, who owns an impressive overall professional record of 21-2, most recently earned a second-round knockout victory against Thailand's Petlampun Muadablampang at ONE Friday Fights 93 in January.
However, his next fight against Singdomthong will be a difficult task as the latter is a 28-year-old Thai with 84 career wins who owns a 6-1 record in ONE Friday Fights and is on a three-win-streak.
ONE Friday Fights 112 kicks off at 3:30 PM on Friday, June 13 and will be broadcast live via beIN SPORTS and watch.onefc.com

Basketball: Lebanon faces New Zealand in Asia Cup quarterfinals
BEIRUT — Lebanon will face New Zealand on Thursday at 9 p.m. (Beirut time) in the quarterfinals of the Asia Cup organized by the International Basketball Federation. The game will take place at the King Abdullah Sports Complex, north of Jeddah. Lebanon is currently ranked 29th in the FIBA standings, seven places below its opponent of the day. On Tuesday, the Lebanese national basketball team defeated Japan in the qualification round for the quarterfinals by a 23-point margin (97-73). New Zealand, aiming for a third consecutive semifinal appearance in as many editions, dominated the group stage, outscoring opponents by an average margin of 23.3 points per game, according to FIBA statistics. Things have been more complicated for Ali Mansour and Youssef Khayat, Lebanon's two top scorers in the competition up to the quarterfinals. In fact, Lebanon lost two games in a row to Australia (80-93) and then South Korea (86-97) after narrowly defeating Qatar (84-80). However, this win allowed them to face Japan in the playoff to qualify for the quarterfinals despite those setbacks.

Lebanese sprinter Marc-Anthony Ibrahim breaks national 400-meter hurdles record
Sprinter Marc-Anthony Ibrahim, 22, broke the national record for the 400-meter hurdles on Saturday at the IFAM Putpost Stadium in Oordegem, Brussels, Belgium, with a time of 48.95 seconds. This earned him the highest score ever recorded by a Lebanese athlete in the World Athletics (the international athletics federation) world rankings, with 1,183 points. "He is making history once again," said Lebanese athlete Aziza Sbaity on her Instagram account. Living in Hadath, in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Ibrahim began competing professionally in 2021. That year, he posted a score of 54.91 seconds on the same circuit. "This improvement of exactly six seconds in four years is significant," he stated. "Between the economic crisis, the pandemic, and the recent war [between Hezbollah and Israel], with bombings occurring just 500 meters from my home, I am proud to be able to be competitive on a global scale." Toward the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo Ibrahim said that he participated in this race in Belgium "without a sponsor": "My club, Let's Run, funds races in Lebanon, and struggles to do so abroad, even though it has managed on occasion." His expenses, which he estimates at "between $200 and $300" for the plane ticket and five days of accommodation in Brussels, were completely paid for "by a friend." "In Lebanon, we do not have the chance to participate in high-level tournaments because we lack the connections to do so, and athletics has no exposure in the country. This is a real problem for taking part in international tournaments," he said. In Lebanon, the young athlete trains at three stadiums in the capital: at Antonine University, whose track is 300 meters, not 400, at the American University of Beirut and at the City Sports Center. The athlete's next goal: the World Athletics Championships, which will take place from Sept. 13 to 21 in Tokyo. To do this, he must be among the top 40 runners in the 400-meter hurdles in the World Athletics world rankings, which are evaluated based on a points system awarded according to athletes' performances and the level of the tournament that will be reviewed "in two weeks." His latest performance has not yet been factored into the world rankings, where he is currently in 67th place. "I should be in the top 50 right now. Last year, I couldn't participate in the Olympic Games because I was 47th. I hope I can qualify this time!" he stated.
