The African Fighters Awards 2025 Streaming Live January 18th

The countdown has officially begun.

On January 18th, The African Fighters returns with the 4th Annual African Fighters Awards — a night dedicated to celebrating the athletes, creators, coaches, and moments that shaped African combat sports in 2025. This year’s edition is set to be our biggest yet, and for the first time, the entire show will be streamed live, allowing fans across the continent and around the world to witness history as it happens.

Over the past three years, the Awards have become a launchpad for some of Africa’s most exciting rising stars. Former winners such as Mulumba, Musasa, Gasmire Diatta, Ndebele, and even global names like Kamaru Usman and Manel Kape have used their recognition as momentum — stepping into brighter spotlights, bigger stages, and higher stakes.

It’s proof of the Awards’ purpose: to spotlight Africa’s finest talent before the world catches on.

A New Era of Recognition

This year’s ceremony continues that mission — highlighting the fighters who made a mark in 2025, whether through unforgettable knockouts, championship runs, global breakthroughs, or inspirational stories inside and outside the cage and ring.

Fans can expect:

• New award categories reflecting the growth of African combat sports

• Live reactions from fighters across Africa and the diaspora

• Special guest appearances

• Exclusive moments only possible on a live broadcast

And of course — a celebration of the culture, energy, and spirit that makes African combat sports unique.

Why January 18th Matters

The 2025 season has been one of the most explosive in African combat sports history. With the rise of Nigerian boxing, the expansion of African MMA events, and African talents shining on the world stage, this year’s Awards will serve as a time capsule — documenting the athletes who defined this chapter of the continent’s combat story.

For many fighters, this show will be their first taste of continental recognition.
For some, it may be the moment that elevates their career.
For all of them, it is a platform built by Africans, for Africans.
