Professional Fighters Leagueโs debut in Africa will take place one week earlier than originally announced.
The organzation on Monday announced that both PFL Africa 1 and PFL Champions Series: Road to Dubai both of which were scheduled for July 26, will now go down on July 19. The venue will remain the same: GrandWest Arena in Capetown, South Africa. No reason was given for the change.
In addition to the change in date, the PFL revealed more participants for the first-round tournament bouts at bantamweight and heavyweight. Meanwhile, Nigerian strawweight prospect Juliet Ukah will compete on the card in a showcase bout against an as-yet-to be announced opponent.
The PFL Africa 1 card will precede the PFL Champions Series: Road to Dubai card, which is headlined by a middleweight title tilt pitting Johnny Eblen against Costella Van Steenis. In the co-main event, 2024 PFL champion Dakota Ditcheva will lock horns with Sumiko Inaba. More Champions Series bouts are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
