Dricus Du Plessis invites Caio Borralho to spar after call-out in South Africa

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to call out middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis for a fight. Du Plessis responded by inviting Borralho to come to his gym and spar, offering to let him post videos of the sparring sessions. Borralho told Du Plessis to stop acting like a child and sign the contract. Du Plessis replied by questioning what contract Borralho was referring to and stating Borralho's name is not part of any negotiations, then challenged him to show courage by coming to the gym which was only 30 minutes away. Amid this exchange, insider sources reported that a bout between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is in development. Additionally, the post mentions that Shavkat Rakhmonov concerned fans with rehabilitation footage showing him far from fighting condition after more than a year and a half away from competition.
