Johannesburg - July 10, 2023 – It was great sporting weekend for South Africa. The Boks had an impressive win against the Wallabies and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) witnessed an extraordinary display of skill and determination in Las Vegas, as South African fighter Dricus "Stillknocks" du Plessis emerged triumphant in his match against Robert Whittaker in the middleweight division.
