All fighters have made weight ahead of PFL Africa Season 2 in Pretoria, where Nkosi Ndebele headlines a bantamweight main event against Italy’s Michele Clemente.

 

Pretoria, South Africa (10 April 2026) – The stage is set in Pretoria as PFL Africa Season 2 officially gets underway at the SunBet Arena.

The official weigh-ins have now been completed, confirming that all fighters on the main card have made weight and are ready for competition as anticipation builds for the season opener.

Headlining the event is a bantamweight showcase bout between South Africa’s reigning 2025 PFL Africa Bantamweight Champion Nkosi “King” Ndebele and Italy’s Michele “The Arrow” Clemente. Ndebele, who weighed in at 135.6 lbs, enters the contest in front of a home crowd and will look to build on his strong run in PFL competition following his championship success last season.

Clemente, who came in at 135 lbs, arrives in Pretoria carrying a five-fight winning streak and brings a well-rounded striking and grappling game into what is expected to be a competitive main event.

The co-main event will feature a heavyweight showdown between South Africa’s Justin Clarke and Senegal’s Abdoulaye Kane. Clarke tipped the scales at 245.2 lbs, while Kane came in heavier at 262.7 lbs ahead of their scheduled bout.

Clarke returns to action after reaching the 2025 PFL Africa Heavyweight Final and will be looking to reassert himself on home soil in Pretoria. Kane, meanwhile, enters the contest with momentum, having recorded back-to-back knockout victories. Important to note that all his wins came via stoppage. With both fighters yet to go the distance in their careers, the matchup carries strong expectations of a decisive finish.

With weigh-ins complete and both main and co-main events officially locked, attention now shifts to fight night as Pretoria prepares to host the opening chapter of PFL Africa Season 2.
