Caio Borralho Travels to South Africa to Challenge Dricus Du Plessis

Caio Borralho flew to South Africa to confront Dricus Du Plessis after the champion stopped responding to his fight callouts. Du Plessis responded by inviting Borralho to his gym for a sparring session on Friday morning at 9 a.m., offering to film it if desired. Du Plessis mocked Borralho's approach, telling him to stop acting like a little boy and questioning whether Borralho's name was even being discussed for his next title defense. The exchange escalated on social media with Du Plessis challenging Borralho to prove himself in the gym. This represents an unusual escalation in fight promotion tactics between the middleweight contenders.
