Caio Borralho challenges Dricus du Plessis in South Africa, both exchange words

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis, sparking a heated social media exchange. Du Plessis invited Borralho to his gym for sparring, suggesting he could film and post the sessions. Borralho responded by calling du Plessis childish and urging him to sign a contract. Du Plessis fired back, questioning why Borralho thought his name was even in contract negotiations and challenged him to show up at the gym, which was only 30 minutes away. Meanwhile, insiders reported that a fight between du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is in development. The post also notes that Shavkat Rakhmonov concerned fans with a rehabilitation video showing him far from fighting shape, having not competed in over 18 months.
