BRAVE Combat Federation announces the departure of Nkosi "The Future" Ndebele, marking the end of an extraordinary chapter. Rising from Diepsloot to become BRAVE CF's first fully homegrown World Champion, Ndebele leaves after over 8 years with the promotion.

Joining BRAVE CF in 2017, Ndebele progressed from amateur to professional, achieving 8 wins in 11 professional fights, with 5 victories by stoppage. His crowning moment came at BRAVE CF 80 in December 2023, where he captured the Bantamweight Championship with a decisive win over Jose Torres.

"Nkosin has been a true champion and an embodiment of BRAVE CF's values," said Mohammed Shahid, President of BRAVE CF. "His contributions go beyond the cage, and we are grateful for his dedication."

Ndebele's career saw him fight on 3 continents, compete in 4 title fights, and log 143 minutes and 24 seconds of cage time, the second-highest in BRAVE CF history. Despite losing his title at BRAVE CF 91 to Nicholas Hwende, his legacy remains intact.

Reflecting on his journey, Ndebele expressed gratitude to BRAVE CF and its leadership for providing a platform to showcase African MMA talent. As he moves on, his story will continue to inspire fighters across the continent.
