Stacked fight card revealed for PFL Africa Season 2

The Professional Fighters League returns to South African shores on the second weekend of April with the First Round of PFL Africa Season 2. The promotion announced their full card earlier this week, scheduled for April 10th at SunBet Arena in Pretoria.

The card will be headlined by a Bantamweight Showcase Bout between 2025 PFL Africa Bantamweight Champion, Nkosi ‘King’ Ndebele (11-3), who defends his title against Michele ‘The Arrow’ Clemente (7-1) from Italy. South Africa’s Ndebele will be looking to put on a show in front of his home fans and extend his unbeaten PFL record in the process. His Italian opponent boasts a technical striking and grappling approach and heads to Mzansi on a five-fight winning streak.

Another local favourite headlines the card in the Co-Main Event as Justin Clarke (4-1) takes on Senegal’s Abdoulaye Kane (5-1) in a Heavyweight Showcase Bout.

Clarke returns to PFL after impressing in 2025, where he made it to the PFL Africa Heavyweight Final.

His Senegalese opponent has been on a tear late, winning his last two bouts via knockout – he’s also finished each of his professional fights. To make matters more interesting, neither of these fighters has needed the judge’s scorecards to get their hands raised, meaning we could be in for an explosive encounter.

Another South African will be in action in a Welterweight Tournament First Round bout as Peace Nguphane (8-3) squares off against 2025 PFL Africa Welterweight Champion Yabna N’Tchala (14-2, 1 NC). Nguphane will be fighting on home soil, looking to extend his four-fight winning streak, while N’Tchala will be hoping to silence the Pretoria crowd in pursuit of a second PFL Africa title.
