Professional Fighters Leagueโs debut in Africa will take place one week earlier than originally announced.
The organzation on Monday announced that both

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.
