Du Plessis vs. Usman negotiations underway for potential July bout

According to insider Kevin K, negotiations are currently taking place for a middleweight title fight between Dricus Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman, with July being targeted as the fight date. This development comes amid Du Plessis's recent back-and-forth with Caio Borralho, who traveled to South Africa to challenge the champion. The potential Usman matchup raises questions about Borralho's next opponent, as he appeared to be positioning himself for a title shot. If the Du Plessis-Usman fight materializes, it would mark Usman's first middleweight title opportunity after his dominant run at welterweight.
