Shavkat Rakhmonov worries fans with rehab video after 18-month layoff

Shavkat Rakhmonov alarmed his fanbase by posting a rehabilitation video showing him far from fighting condition. The undefeated welterweight contender has not competed in over a year and a half, raising concerns about his readiness to return. Meanwhile, Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, who responded by inviting him to spar at his gym and offering to post the footage. The exchange escalated with Du Plessis questioning why Borralho thinks he is even in title contention discussions. Amid this back-and-forth, multiple insiders reported that a Du Plessis versus Kamaru Usman fight is being developed.
