by Naharnet Newsdesk 11 June 2025, 13:02
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

Messi scores first goal at expanded Club World Cup, leading Inter Miami win over Porto
by Naharnet Newsdesk 20 June 2025, 15:02 Lionel Messi scored his first goal of the expanded Club World Cup on a patented free kick in the 54th minute to break a tie in Inter Miami's 2-1 victory over Porto on Thursday. Messi was taken down just outside the penalty area by Rodrigo Mora on a run down the middle of the field. With chants of "Messi! Messi!" rocking Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the 37-year-old Argentine star's left-footed blast cleared the wall and sailed into the top right corner. Inter Miami tied it at 1-all on Telasco Segovia's goal two minutes into the second half off a cross into the box from from Marcelo Weigandt. Messi's goal serves as a continuation of good form in the calendar year. Though the team has had a slow start, he has 10 goals and six assists in 12 starts in Major League Soccer. It felt like a home game for Miami, with an overwhelmingly pink crowd in Atlanta. "The whole team made a great effort," Messi told DAZN. "We controlled the ball very well, and we're very happy." With Messi's 38th birthday less than a week away, his continued success is a positive sign for fans, including the thousands wearing No. 10 jerseys inside the stadium, that his retirement is still a ways away. The MLS club and two-time European champion Porto were held to scoreless draws in their opening Group A matches. "Extraordinary," Weigandt said. "When I saw the ball take off with such power I said, 'No, that's it'. We're already used to this kind of thing. ... Knowing him has shown me what a great person he is, and that only makes him greater and more extraordinary."

How billionaire Mark Walter made his fortune
by Naharnet Newsdesk 20 June 2025, 15:10 The billionaire slated to take over the controlling interest in the Los Angeles Lakers has built a career leading businesses investing in everything from sports franchises to artificial intelligence. Mark Walter is CEO of the global investment and advisory company Guggenheim Partners, which is estimated to have more than $325 billion in assets. He's also co-founder and CEO of holding company TWG Global. Forbes estimates Walter's net worth is $6.1 billion. The publication ranked him at No. 216 on its Forbes 400 list last year. Walter received an undergraduate degree in business administration from Creighton University and a law degree from Northwestern University, but ultimately chose business over a career in law. In the mid-1990s, he co-founded Liberty Hampshire, an investment management firm in Chicago. That business became part of Guggenheim Partners, which Walter co-founded in the late 1990s. In addition to Guggenheim, Walter co-founded TWG Global with film producer Thomas Tull. The company holds a portfolio of finance and insurance sector companies, including Guggenheim Investments, Guggenheim Securities, Group 1001 Insurance and Delaware Life. It also includes aerospace and defense technology company Shield AI. Last month, TWG Global announced a partnership with Palantir Technologies and Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, maker of Grok, aimed at developing artificial intelligence for use in the financial services industry. TWG Global also includes investments in sports, media and entertainment franchises, such as the controlling interest in the Los Angeles Dodgers, Premier League club Chelsea, the Professional Women's Hockey League and — through TWG Motorsports — ownership of several auto racing teams including Cadillac Formula 1. Beyond business, Walter and his wife, Kimbra, have founded or contributed to various philanthropic organizations, including the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, the Academy Group, Chicago Beyond and OneGoal.

Mbappe discharged from hospital
by Naharnet Newsdesk 20 June 2025, 15:03 Kylian Mbappe was discharged from the hospital Thursday after experiencing an acute case of gastroenteritis, and it was not known when he will be able to play for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup. Mbappe missed the Spanish giant's opening game of the tournament — a surprise 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal in Miami — because of a fever. Coach Xabi Alonso said the France international was in "rough shape" and hadn't been able to train for days. His illness casts doubt over what part he might be able to play in the monthlong tournament in the United States, with Madrid facing Pachuca in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday. "Mbappe will continue with specific medical treatment and will gradually return to the team's activity," Madrid said in a statement. Gastroenteritis is also known as stomach flu and symptoms can include vomiting and diarrhea. Mbappe's absence is a blow to the Club World Cup, which FIFA president Gianni Infantino hopes will be one of the elite events in soccer and rival competitions like the Champions League and Premier League in popularity and value. After Lionel Messi, Mbappe is arguably the biggest star in the show, with Madrid one of the favorites to lift the trophy in the inaugural edition of the tournament. But a crowd of more than 62,000 at Hard Rock Stadium missed out on a rare chance to see him in person in the U.S. when he was unavailable for Madrid's first game at the home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins on Wednesday. Alonso missed him, too, in what has been a difficult start to the tournament for the team's new coach. Madrid was underwhelming against Al Hilal — Saudi Arabia's most successful team — and missed a 92nd-minute penalty to win the match. It was Alonso's first game in charge of the 15-time European champion, which is famously demanding of its coaches. Last month he replaced Carlo Ancelotti, who left to join the Brazil national team after winning three Champions Leagues and two Spanish titles in two stints at the club. Despite being the overwhelming favorite against Al Hilal, Madrid had to settle for a draw after surviving a number of scares in the first half — leaving Alonso to call for patience. "We know this is going to take time," he said. The 26-year-old Mbappe was Madrid's top scorer last season, with 43 goals in 56 appearances in his first year since joining from Paris Saint-Germain. His hospitalization came almost exactly one year after he sustained a broken nose at the European Championship and had to wear a face mask to continue playing in the tournament.
