ONE Championship Muay Thai title chase

In late July 2024, the ONE Championship event The Inner Circle 24 was announced for Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium. Lebanese brothers Ramadan (19) and Abdallah (24) Ondash were scheduled to fight on the card, with Ramadan slated for a flyweight Muay Thai bout against Malaysian‑American Johan Ghazali and Abdallah for a strawweight match against Chokpreecha PK Tom T Kalaiyont. Both brothers expressed ambitions to earn title shots – Ramadan targeting the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title and Abdallah the ONE Strawweight title – and hinted at opening a gym in Lebanon.

Two days later, Ghazali gave a pre‑fight interview, noting his eight‑win ONE record and recent loss at ONE SAMURAI 1. He described the matchup as his “bread and butter,” likening Ondash to a younger version of himself and outlining a strategy that leverages his experience and unpredictability to keep Ramadan guessing. The interview reinforced the upcoming bout’s significance as a stepping stone toward a potential title challenge for the Lebanese fighter.
