Lebanon’s Ramadan Ondash to face undefeated Thai star

  • ONE Friday Fights 114 will take place on at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on June 27

DUBAI: Lebanon’s rising Muay Thai star Ramadan Ondash is set to face Thai star Chartpayak Saksatoon at the ONE Championship event, ONE Friday Fights 114, on June 27.

Over three rounds, the strawweight Muay Thai contest will see two of the sport’s most exciting young talents clash inside Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.

The 18-year-old Lebanese athlete is hoping to secure his fourth consecutive win in the global martial arts organization and keep his clean record intact.

Nicknamed “The Scorpion,” Ondash opened his account with an imposing knockout victory in January 2024, dropping Thailand’s Yangdam Jitmuangnon 80 seconds into the matchup.

He followed his debut win with two equally impressive victories by unanimous decision at the expense of experienced Thai fighters Pichitchai PK Saenchai and Kongchai Chanaidonmueang

After watching his older brother, Abdallah Ondash, pick up a first-round knockout win in the main ONE Friday Fights 112 event on June 13, the former Lebanon, Arab and IFMA Youth world champion now hopes to raise his own overall professional record to 11-2.

However, the next bout represents the Lebanese athlete’s most difficult yet. His opponent, Saksatoon, is a veteran of 83 fights with a 68-15 record. Since his ONE Friday Fights debut, the 26-year-old Thai has amassed a 7-0 record with five wins out of seven coming via knockout.
