Caio Borralho challenges Du Plessis in South Africa, heated exchange follows

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to challenge middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis to a fight. Du Plessis responded by inviting Borralho to come to his gym and spar, offering to let him post the footage. Borralho dismissed this as childish behavior and told Du Plessis to sign a contract instead. Du Plessis countered by questioning why Borralho believes his name is even being discussed in title negotiations and challenged him to show courage by actually showing up at the gym, which is 30 minutes away. Meanwhile, multiple insiders have reported that a bout between Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman is currently being developed, suggesting Borralho may not be next in line for a title shot.
