A global powerhouse in Mixed Martial Arts , Professional Fighters League in collaboration with Helios Sports and Entertainment Groups have committed to an extensive expansion into Africa through significant investments over the next 12 months, presenting fighters with the exceptional opportunity to compete for a substantial prize of $1 million in the upcoming Champions league.
According to him, the investment will make the fighters have the ability, the capabilities, the experience, and determination to become champions. “Our vision is to create opportunities for the very best fighters all over the world and right here in Africa, to support their journeys as professional athletes, to give them consistent top competition on major media platforms, but also give them the ability to earn their way through a true sport format,” he said.
Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Helios Investment Partners, Tope Lawani, added that African talent has had disproportionate success on the global MMA stage and currently has a scarcity of events despite significant demand, creating a huge opportunity for growth as young Africans consume more digital content on their devices.
