Du Plessis challenges Borralho to spar after callout in South Africa

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to call out middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis for a title fight. Du Plessis responded by inviting Borralho to come to his gym and spar, offering to let him post videos of the sessions. Borralho dismissed the offer as childish and told du Plessis to sign a contract instead. Du Plessis fired back questioning why Borralho thinks he's even in title contention negotiations, noting the gym is only 30 minutes away and challenging him to show courage. Amid this exchange, insider sources reported that a bout between du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is being developed. The post also mentioned that Shavkat Rakhmonov alarmed fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition, having not competed in over 18 months.
