Dricus Du Plessis and Caio Borralho exchange words after challenge in South Africa

Caio Borralho traveled to South Africa to issue a challenge to middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, prompting an exchange on social media. Du Plessis invited Borralho to his gym for sparring and offered to let him post the videos publicly. Borralho responded by urging Du Plessis to sign a contract for a fight, calling him childish. Du Plessis countered by questioning why Borralho assumes he is being considered for a title shot and challenged him to visit the gym, which was reportedly only 30 minutes away.

The social media back-and-forth highlights tension between the two middleweights, though an actual bout has not been confirmed.
