Justin Clarke, Nkosi Ndebele and Smiley Savage were little-known athletes. But ahead of the PFL’s debut in Africa we needed to turn them into local legends. The PFL team landed in Cape Town needing full-service PR support, with just weeks to go before their first-ever African event in 2025. The goal was to build momentum, manage the media, control the narrative, and make fight night a knockout. Simple on paper. Wild in practice. It was such a hit with South African audiences that this event was followed by the PFL Africa event in Pretoria in April 2026.
