Insiders report Du Plessis vs. Usman in works amid Borralho callout exchange

Shavkat Rakhmonov alarmed fans with a rehabilitation video showing he is far from fighting shape, having been out of action for over a year and a half. Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, who invited him to spar at his gym instead. The exchange escalated with Borralho demanding Du Plessis sign a contract, while Du Plessis questioned why Borralho's name would even be in negotiations. Multiple insiders subsequently reported that a bout between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is currently in development.
