Du Plessis vs. Usman middleweight title fight in negotiation for July

A middleweight championship bout between Dricus Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is currently in the negotiation stage and could take place in July, according to insider KevinK. This development comes amid public tension between Du Plessis and contender Caio Borralho, who recently traveled to South Africa to challenge the champion. The potential Usman title shot raises questions about Borralho's next opponent if the Du Plessis-Usman fight materializes. Usman would be moving up from welterweight to challenge for the middleweight title.
