On Friday in Cotonou, Benin, the PFL Africa stars of 2025 stepped onto the scales during the official weigh-ins ahead of Saturday’s landmark event at the Sofitel Dome. The card will see four champions crowned across the Heavyweight, Welterweight, Featherweight, and Bantamweight divisions, alongside a slate of showcase and alternate bouts.

In the co-main event, the Welterweight title will be on the line when Angola’s Shido Boris Esperanca (11–1) faces Guinea-Bissau’s Yabna N’Tchala (13–2–1) for PFL Africa gold.
The Heavyweight Final features an unbeaten Justin Clarke (4–0) against 2023 PFL Heavyweight Challenger Series winner Abraham Bably (7–2). At Featherweight, Cameroon’s Alain Majorique (6–0) will square off against Nigeria’s Wasi Adeshina (9–3) for the championship belt.
All four finals are scheduled for five five-minute rounds, with each winner crowned as a PFL Africa champion and awarded $100,000 in prize money.
In addition to the title bouts, the card will include seven showcase fights spanning the Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight, Welterweight, Lightweight, and Women’s Strawweight divisions.
