Pivotal Bouts Added to July 19’s PFL Africa Champions Series Event

Professional Fighters League added two solid matchups to its growing July 19 PFL Champions Series 2: 2025 Africa First Round event at GrandWest Arena in Capetown, South Africa.

Headlined by a middleweight title tilt pitting Johnny Eblen against Costello van Steenis, the event also features 2024 PFL champion Dakota Ditcheva, who will do battle with Bellator MMA veteran Sumiko Inaba.

On Friday, PFL revealed two more intriguing tilts to July 19’s lineup as A.J. McKee will lock horns with Akhmed Magomedov in a featherweight clash and Corey Anderson will toe the line against Denis Goltsov in a heavyweight scrap.

The PFL Africa 1 card will precede the PFL Champions Series ‘Road to Dubai’ on the same day at GrandWest Arena and host bantamweight and heavyweight tournaments, as well as showcase fights.
